over 52,000 locales here<\/a>).<\/p> As speedrunner “Havrd” demonstrated, deducing your locale from your surroundings alone can be tricky. And for this category, Havrd was going for a perfect score, getting his own location essentially dead-on with a score of 5,000 for each of the five drop points. You can watch the run in full below:<\/p>

Just looking around his location, he’s able to deduce countries and regions. Roads make for an obvious marker, as well as exit signs. But the speed at which he can glean details, anything from a flag and written language to road lines, while flitting through the world is really impressive to see in practice.<\/p>
I love the non-standard runs that get featured at Games Done Quick, and going online has only made it easier to feature some runs that would otherwise cause logistical challenges. VR and full arcade setups are some obvious examples, but I’m happy to see GDQ spotlighting stuff like\u00a0GeoGuessr\u00a0<\/em>as well. It’s not the most conventional “game,” but it’s fascinating to see these sorts of tools turned into games and then broken down into a run.<\/p> SGDQ 2021 concludes tomorrow, July 10, with a run of\u00a0Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix<\/em>; here’s where you can find the full schedule<\/a> of upcoming games.\u00a0You can follow the stream and help donate to a good cause (Doctors Without Borders)
