I guess I should introduce myself on here!
I'm Tom, I work in game design and I also make video game music remixes on YT 🎵
Some of my favourite series:
- Kingdom Hearts
- Final Fantasy (+FF7)
- Sonic
- Nintendo; mostly Mario + Zelda + Xenoblade
Here's a "condensed showreel" of some of my music:

'Shadow The Hedgehog' was released on the Nintendo Gamecube 20 years ago today in the US.

Actually WILD that Rush is now 20 years old
That's the same length of time between Sonic 1 and Sonic Generations

Saw some posts recently about how the upcoming Metroid Prime 4 has a chatty comic-relief character people are annoyed about, ruining the atmosphere with constant voice lines during gameplay, handholding the player
So I watched a video thinking "oh it can't be that bad surely"
...Yeah it's that bad

I love Square Enix. The games & the team I’ve got to know are incredible.
I’m so saddened by the layoffs & it’s not deserved. I hope everyone finds something amazing in the near future 🙏
Show kindness and have empathy bc this is a hard time. Especially with AI. It should NEVER be a replacement 💔

They probably just needed to narrow down this patent to say
"summoning a cartoony animal-like character from inside a thrown sphere which battles for you"
instead of the *incredibly* broad description of RPG summoning they went with

With that new Animal Crossing New Horizons update video a few days ago,
not only did it have a different voiceover between the UK and US versions, but yet again, there's pointless wording changes between the two....
I wonder why they do this 😆 They change "console" to "system" between regions too

Can't believe it's been **5 years** since these epilogue cutscenes in KH Melody Of Memory, and we still don't fully know what happens next lmao
5 years is the same length of time between Dream Drop Distance and its HD remaster

Had another slightly weird occurrence with my Switch 2 just now:
Earlier today I put it in Sleep Mode, midway through a game. I then went back to my Switch 1 to play a bit of an online game I have on there
Then, I went back to my Switch 2... but it had turned itself off... 🧐 With 50% battery left

I just rolled credits in Clair Obscur Expedition 33, and....
...Damn, what a wild story... 😅
I think I need to clarify a few things and the grand metaphors/meanings of everything because it started getting pretty bizarre throughout Act 3

Since the start of this month I've made a lot of progress in Clair Obscur Expedition 33, but admittedly I got a bit burnt out on it over the past week or so. I'll get back into it this weekend
On the other hand, my Dad's started playing it now! 😆 He completed Final Fantasy 16 last month

As it's now been added to the GameCube app on Switch 2, I've just now *finally* played Luigi's Mansion for the first time
It's pretty fun! I'd only ever seen random bits of gameplay footage on YouTube until now, so actually playing it felt interesting
Definitely feels like an early GC game though

2025 might've honestly been the darkest, emptiest year to be a Kingdom Hearts fan.
Reeeeally hoping there's just *something* KH4 related at the Game Awards in December. Even if it's just Square saying things are still going with it
