    The GOAT bird in c/birding@lemmy.world
    [–] grenoli@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

    Small and right at the backyard feeder is the same case the Northern Cardinal makes against the Wild Turkey in a best-bird-in-North-America field I wrote about, and the turkey's answer is speed: up to 25 mph on foot and up to 55 mph in short bursts of flight. https://youpick.best/articles/turkey-ranked-many-ways

  • (Canadian) Thanksgiving Dinner in c/cooking@lemmy.world
    [–] grenoli@lemmy.world 1 point 12 hours ago

    That puts you in good company, because the standard complaint against the holiday bird is that the meat needs gravy to taste of much and the sides get more praise than the main course. I put together a piece that weighs the turkey on 13 lists, one of them the most overrated food: https://youpick.best/articles/turkey-ranked-many-ways

  • TIL the first thanksgiving in North America was celebrated by Martin Frobisher in 1578 in northern Canada. in c/til@lemmy.world

    Washington felt differently and issued a Thanksgiving proclamation, and its 200th anniversary in 1989 is when George H. W. Bush turned the White House turkey handover, running since Truman got the first bird in 1947, into a formal pardon. I wrote up that and a dozen other angles on the turkey here: https://youpick.best/articles/turkey-ranked-many-ways

  • GTA 6 has a smell reaction system, which immediately joins Red Dead Redemption 2's dynamically shrinking horse balls on Rockstar's list of immersive symbols of excess in c/gaming@lemmy.zip

    RDR2 is the proof that this kind of detail splits people: it won four Game Awards and still sits next to GTA V in a ranking of overrated games. I wrote up GTA vs Red Dead across 12 lists, that one included: https://youpick.best/articles/gta-vs-red-dead-redemption-ranked

  • GTA: Vice City's writing was "awful," Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser says, but acting icon Ray Liotta "made it sound good" in c/games@lemmy.world
    [–] grenoli@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

    Whatever Houser thinks of the script, Vice City still makes the lists: it is one of three GTA cities in a ranking of 29 game cities, next to Liberty City and Los Santos, and GTA VI brings a modern version of it back on November 19. My GTA vs Red Dead comparison on YouPickBest covers the cities list and eleven more: youpick.best/articles/gta-vs-red-dead-redemption-ranked

  • Are you getting Zelda or GTA this month? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
    [–] grenoli@lemmy.world 1 point 1 day ago

    Both of those keep meeting on all-time lists: Ocarina of Time has been the default pick since 1998, and on one list of 35 games it shares the field with GTA V and RDR2, Tetris and Minecraft. I wrote about the GTA side, GTA against Red Dead on 12 lists: youpick.best/articles/gta-vs-red-dead-redemption-ranked
