Latest notes

🕹ī¸ played Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores[1] - bit of a short expansion but looked incredible and gameplay was a lot of fun! Definitely sets us up for more fun in the Horizon world.

☕ī¸ tried Union Revelation Espresso Coffee Beans[1] - it was ok - I'm learning - probably need to stop buying 1kg bags of beans until I know what I really like.

đŸŽŦ watched Dungeons and Dragons[1] with my daughter - we loved it - both laughing most of the way through. It was a lot of fun! I suspect there will be more.

đŸŽŦ watched Mission Impossible[1] with the kids for the first time - think they enjoyed it - I certainly did - not sure they like it as much as the Lord of the Rings yet but we'll keep trying to broaden their choices 😀.

đŸŽŦ watched John Wick Chapter 4[1] amazing, great action and very funny, great soundtrack and great visual style, it helped that some of my favourite marshal artists were in it. Can't wait for more.

đŸ“ē watched The Last of Us S1[1] and loved it, best TV I've seen for a long time - never did complete the game and it did not matter. Can't wait for S2.

đŸŽŦ watched The Menu[1] and thoroughly enjoyed - we were both surprised several times and I thought it was brilliant dark comedy.

🕹ī¸ played Horizon Forbidden West[1] - much like Zero Dawn - just wow! One of the best games I've ever played. Looking forward to Burning Shores in April.

đŸ“ē watched Severance S1[1] and liked it earlier in the season more - perhaps because I got distracted by other shows I kind of lost interest - well made, interesting, but not a huge hit with me.

📝 I'm having a some trouble with definitions. Dichotomy - 'a division or contrast between two things that are or are represented as being opposed or entirely different'. Trichotomy - 'a division into three categories'. So my first thought on how to go beyond this where there is no obvious number is to use polychotomy - 'a division or separation into many parts or classes'. Reading a little deeper though (and this is not sourced from a definition I see 'Di, in dichotomy means 'between or across' rather than 'two', and perhaps other thinking that the meaning of dichotomy has changed (or has been to perceived to have changed) over the years. Now what to do?
