Zoe Retro Doll Unboxing 🎉 (Defa Lucy / Brittany) Serving Retro Glam ✨

Hi fashionistas! Guess what time it is? Yep, it’s unboxing time again and today we’re rolling out the red carpet for a brand new Zoe Retro Doll (Defa Lucy / Brittany) who is absolutely serving retro glam. Honestly, if fabulousness were a sport, she’d have more gold medals than Michael Phelps. 

Let’s start with the packaging because, first impressions matter. This box is basically a disco ball in disguise: neon colors, sparkles, and enough retro flair to make you question why you ever wore those boring jeans yesterday. I swear it almost whispered to me, “Open me, darling. Your life is about to get way more fabulous.

Then we meet our brand new Zoe Retro Doll and she steps out of the box like she’s walking the runway, hair gorgeous and an outfit thats giving us major throwback vibes, and attitude that says, “Honey, I don’t chase trends, I set them.” Honestly, I think my own mirror felt personally attacked.

And naturally her accessories? Absolutely on point. Tiny boots that look like they could star in a fashion magazine, a purse that could hold a miniature universe and her sunglasses just made her more of a star!

In short, unboxing this new Zoe Retro Doll is like stepping into a time machine, but make it fashion, sparkle, and just a touch of diva energy. She’s nostalgic, she’s glamorous, and she’s ready to steal hearts.

Lets Play Twinkle Star Sprites From SNK (Retro Gaming)

Hi! Today we’re playing Twinkle Star Sprites, a retro fever dream SNK decided to relaunch just to test my reflexes and patience. This game looks all cute and glittery at first, like “aww, magical girls throwing sparkles”, but five seconds in, it’s pure chaos. It’s like Mario Kart if everyone ditched their karts and started firing rainbow death lasers.

You’ve got fireballs, you’ve got counter-attacks, you’ve got screen-filling explosions that make you question whether you’re actually winning or just slowly ascending into another dimension and the best part? You can get totally annihilated by a character who looks like they belong on a third grader’s sticker sheet. Humiliating and yet also adorable.

Grab your snacks, don’t blink, and watch me get turned into sparkling retro rubble.

My thoughts on Pac-man 256



So seriously I have a strong addiction to Pac-Man. Pac-Man was the first video game I ever played as a kid I started playing it when I was 5 in an old movie theater that my family used to go to a lot and I still have fond memories of going to see movies and playing Pac-Man. It's something that was always in the backdrop of my childhood weather I was playing it in that old movie theater or with friends at the pinball museum or in an old ice cream shop it was a game that just always was there. And to this day whenever I hear the Pac-Man music I just can´t help but smile.

Coming out of the nostalgia a bit there´s a new or rather newish Pac-Man game out that's available for ps4, Xbox, android and desktop, called Pac-Man 265 and I'm addicted to it. It's basically your same old Pac-Man board but it goes on forever until you die. But with practice that one life is all you'll need to beat that elusive high score. 

In this game you get a ton of ghost. You have the original ghost, Blinky (red), Pinky (pink), Inky (blue) and Clyde (orange) but also you get Spunky (Grey), Sue (purple), and Funky (green) and Glitchy (Changes color). And each of these ghost have different patterns and mannerisms. Blinky will go after the player. Pinky will go either vertically or horizontally to chase the player. Clyde will keep going down to the bottom of the board and Inky just circles a certain part of the map while Sue will move slowly in a horizontal line to try and keep the player from progressing. Now Sue is maybe the easiest to deal with simplest and slowest pacman ghost you´ll deal with in the game and then there's Spunky who will wake up and chase the player for a few seconds until falling asleep and I can tell you Spunky is maybe the worst out of all of the ghost because of the fact that he´s grey he blends in really well with the black background.

Then there´s maybe the most exciting aspect of this game are the power up, all of which you can unlock different levels for by simply collecting the gold or orange coins as you can find while you're playing. (Here are the many different power ups you can unlock. There are over 20 different powerups my personal favorites are the Cherry power up where you creates a radius around Pac-Man that turns ghosts into cherries and the Giant Pac-man power up which makes pac man grow and enables you to squash enemy ghost.
