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:

Went to the Nintendo Pop-Up Store in London earlier today! 🙌🤩

.......The roughly **three hour** queue for it was fun

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

I'm so tired. This is gross
Coca-Cola's annual Christmas commercial is AI-generated again

The company used even fewer people to make it this year

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

The same length of time between Wii U's release and Switch's release

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

.........Yeah it might be a fair assumption that Xbox will just become a game subscription service by 2030 and Nintendo/Sony/Steam will be the big three companies making hardware

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

"Deep down there's a light that never goes out" n' all

Good lord
Amazon is laying off 14,000 people, with the video games division hit in particular, and others in its corporate workforce.

The layoff message to employees highlights how AI will "innovate much faster than ever before".

Thing is, this'll just confuse so many people because they'll think the 4th Sonic movie is a CD ("music CD") and not a DVD

A bit of a different remix on my YouTube channel:

This is my spin on one of the (surprisingly funky) boss battle tracks from Clair Obscur Expedition 33!

En garde and enjoy 😎🥖⚔️

Also this one stage in the demo is b i z z a r e

I love it. I thought Tetris Effect's scenery was wild but this is absolute chaos

A clip from the Lumines Arise demo I played last night.

I'm still a Lumines noob (I keep playing it like it's Tetris trying to fill the gaps, or Puyo Puyo trying to make long colour connections)

But I somehow made this big square when I activated the slo-mo powerup thing and it was VERY satisfying

In recent years, Tetris Effect has been one of my favourite games ever (not even just a favourite *puzzle* game") so recently I tried the demo of Lumines Arise (from the same devs)

I've never played a Lumines game before, so it took a bit of getting used to, but DAMN it's satisfying and psychedelic

Had a dream last night which was one of those "multiple parts" dreams

First, I saw a new Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer in a cinema (for some reason). Saw Roxas+Axel+Xion in the new photorealistic style and it had some sort of temple world

Then I was in a gift shop that sold nothing but wooden spoons
