Couldn't sleep so instead I watched Kaiju No.8, listened to three albums (Gunship, Kpop Demon Hunters and Sleep Token) and then booked three triathlons and a marathon and bought a new pair of trainers. Totally normal.

If this song doesn't play over the end credits of Donkey Kong Bananza, my perception of the world will crumble

1500m swim and a swift 5k to start the day - shame about the whole having to work now thing.

Superman was so good. A fresh take on the character, a great balance of light, dark and action, and some prescient social commentary on top. I'm definitely going to watch it again while it's still in cinemas.

Finished Andor and obviously then re-watched Rogue One. Retrospectively, this has to be considered the best Star Wars movie now, right?

So, trying to watch Crunchyroll with ads is truly horrible, huh?

Dan Da Dan is back folks. That is all.

A little teary at the fact Nico is on the podium. More drama today than the F1 movie.

I allowed my teenager to stay off school because he is unwell, but he is sending me pictures of him doing the new Monster Hunter quests without me, so now I am annoyed.

Being a parent is hard because my son has taken my Splatoon 3 cart without asking, and I want to play Splatoon 3.

Not a bad day for open water swimming

Son is watching Mario Kart content in the hopes of finding the best kart and driver combo to beat me. But, he will never beat me, because he has not spent thirty years learning 'the ways'.

Well, that's another year without a spot in the London Marathon.

It's our 15 year wedding anniversary, and thanks to our parents, we have four whole days in Tenerife. We are sat by a pool, in the sun, and while I dearly love my children, I haven't had to answer one of their questions for 24 hours, and that is good.

Wishing there was a midnight launch near me for the Switch 2. Those first hazy hours where adrenalin, caffeine and the fear of someone mugging you on the way home, make for some core gaming memories.

Been Star Wars Battlefronting. I'd forgotten how great it is. So long Overwatch, at least for a while.

Games and Lilo and Stitch tomorrow. A rainy little half term treat for us.

My Digital Dragons Awards favourite quote has to be "let's see who baked the most beautiful turkey" which definitely translates perfectly.

Switch 2 will be worth the price if it makes the eShop work. I might expire before this thing loads.

Currently building a PA in a prison. Funny old day.

Wandered around yesterday with no contacts in and sunglasses on. Besides being wildly dangerous and blanking everyone I know, it was pretty great.

Great start to the triathlon season, knocking 7 minutes off last year's time for the same event. Now back to open water swimming lessons in May 🥶

Ribby Hall Triathlon this morning - last year I took the wrong cycling shoes and my feet kept spinning off my bike... So, I'm sure it'll go better than that.

Been on holiday visiting family in the Alps. Don't think I've ever wanted a holiday to continue indefinitely as much as this one.

Dom Leighton @thecitywake.bsky.social · 13/04/2025

Holiday games are Star Overdrive and Atelier Ryza and the Secret Hideout. So far, both are keeping my attention, though the combat in Star Overdrive is not the best.

On holiday in the Alps, watching the F1 with the extended family. Sometimes, things are just perfect.

Finally got my Switch 2 preorder in. All is once more right with the world.

Dom Leighton @thecitywake.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

Had a ShopTo preorder for Switch 2 but not in their first allocation. Busy parenting and working so missed my Amazon invitation to pre-order a Switch 2, and then had one in my basket with Argos when they sold out. Doom.

They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

Drinking IPA in Copenhagen on a boat called The Tipsy Mermaid. That'll do Friday.

Enjoyed the first episode of Daredevil: Born Again - Cox and D'Onofrio are the greatest adversaries the MCU has right now.

Dom Leighton @thecitywake.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

Enjoying the new Architects album, but (and this isn't just them) releasing four singles before an album launches just seems to mess with the pacing.

Time for a bit of reality - a thread. Sales in the shop are doing well, but we're reliant on sales on the website to help pay the bills. The website is reliant on social media, particularly twitter. Since September, we've seen a big decline in people seeing our tweets.

The great Sunday debate: can I just play Monster Hunter Wilds all day?

Dom Leighton @thecitywake.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

Taking a break from Monster Hunter Wilds to work with my kids on the copious amount of Monster Hunter creatures from the board game 😅
