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:

I played the online demo on the weekend and while it's quite a lot of fun, I concluded that I probably won't buy the full game straight away. Might wait for a sale at some point in Spring 2026

For a second there I thought that Hayner had a small Olette head growing at the back of his shoulder because in this specific shot their arm colours seamlessly blend into eachother

The Kirby Air Riders online demo on Switch 2 is incredibly fun, I've just been playing random races and the City Trial mode multiple times
I never played the original Air Ride on GC but it always had my interest due to *slight* similarities to Sonic Riders

I wrote "Kirby Air Riders" on my phone a few minutes ago but as I wrote the word "Air", my phone keyboard suggested the next word to be "Fryers"
So then I thought, I wonder if that's a meme someone's made online
And sure enough...:

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
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

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
