#if i can figure out how to get the terrain map on geoguessr i will be so good

[quaranmine]

started playing geoguessr again recently. timing myself to 5 mins because i HAVE been known to spend a solid 4 hours trying to pinpoint a single destination. i like this map called beautiful places or something that just drops you in scenic areas. so far my greatest hits are:

my firewatch au pilled brain likes to assume every montane granite rock semi open mixed pine forest ecosystem is in wyoming. this leads me astray. it has Never been wyoming yet

nearly perfect score on an iceland round. i immediately knew it was iceland but it took me 4.5 mins to find a single sign to narrow down where, upon which i was like "oh i drove here last month"

immediately clocked yosemite natl park from a hiking trail one, without even seeing half dome or anything, but narrowly missed 5k by placing it at the wrong trail junction

multiple times i have figured out a better guess of where i am with less than 10 seconds to spare and missed out on points because i couldnt click the map fast enough

i have been bested by bulgaria like 3 times because i keep forgetting they use the cyrillic alphabet too and it's getting embarassing at this point

i apparently know the names of places in england but actually have a rather poor understanding of its geography. i saw a sign in a place that mentioned it being in devon and was like AHA!!! and then realized i don't know which part of england devon is LMAO (i did pinpoint this one perfectly though it just took longer than it should have)

i once accidentally guessed the correct highway in all of brazil, but a part 200 miles away from the real location. perfect definition of so close but so far. i hadn't even seen a road sign saying the highway number.
