Not with that language on the front, though.

its kinda true unless you go to Volendam(the alabama of the netherlands), like amsterdam is just hookers and weed (and all the history i guess)

[@rikzz0r]

The Guatamala guess based on the car was the most information-asymmetry I've ever witnessed.

[@kevint6494]

yeah can someone explain this for those non-geoguessr pilled?

[@hunchie]

@@kevint6494 basically, a lot of countries have specific setups for the Google maps cars, some of which are vastly different from others. In Guatemala, you can see the rack upon which the camera is mounted, and the mirrors on the car. It's basically just a way to glean information from knowledge about the game, rather than examining the geography itself, hence NL always referring to that kind of info as "meta"

[@loomismeister]

@@hunchie Any clue what information-asymmetry means and how it relates to meta gaming?

[@baums547]

@@loomismeister Information-asymmetry is just info that you know that your opponent (most likely) doesn't. Asymmetry basically means not even, not equal.

[@rikzz0r]

Many thanks to ​@@hunchie and @baums547 for their explanations. Both are things NL references regularly in these videos.

You always say that "in every European round there are a few of us, Europeans, who say that: "yeah I had a coffee there once". And finally, this happened to me at 6:02. I've been in that building countless times as it's a music school and I'm a member of the school's orchestra.

By the way, I do not recommend playing during weekends (I know this is an old stream) because matchmaking is disabled during Friday and the weekend. This is for the weekend season, so don't play if you don't want to go against masters

[@maruad7577]

Earl's started in Alberta. It was like the White Spot in Vancouver (if that still exists) and Salisbury House in Manitoba. It morphed and expanded it's range over time.

[@TrueNargin]

"ulica" is still quite good meta I think becuase if you see a place that looks close to the Mediterranean and gives off Croatian vibes "ulica" is good confirmation but yes, it exists at least in Slovenia, Slovakia and Poland as well but if you see ulica and it doesn't look like Poland there's a huge chance you're in Croatia though. Your radar seems quite good in Poland but there is a 100% confirmed meta for Poland that you were already told but may have forgotten - it's the letter "Ł ł". Slashed "L" appears only on Polish signs. Also I might be biased but I feel like we got a LOT of streetsigns at least in cities. And signs that indicate towns are usually green background with white text (sometimes they might be white with black text but that's very old signs). Red bike lanes that go across roads next to crosswalks with dotted lines on either side like the one at 46:47 are also something I've only seen in my country but it's just my experience.

[@aureus79]

I love the geoguessr streams so much, hoping NL plays some more on Monday :D

[@tomhall6410]

He'll guess Guatamala based on the car but also guess the middle of Pakistan while standing right by the water

that cambodia clutch was crazy

Hot tip for Australia if you see yellow licence plates you're in NSW, they are now white and black (and like half the vertical size) but about half of the cars still have the yellow ones.

[@SonOfMuta]

25:28 The most northern point of Brazil is closer to Canada than it is to the most southern point of Brazil

[@gyuziburcsany]

Assuming ulica = Croatia is like assuming street = UK. There are like half a dozen countries that operate with this term, and even Hungarian "utca" is a derivative of it. If it's written in Latin (as opposed to Cyrillic), then it's either Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia or Croatia.

I got geoguessr on my iPad and got a guess that looked suspiciously like south central LA (where I grew up), ended up getting it 15 ft away from the original location
