  A miracle has happened to me! A musical miracle! I'm back on synthesizer music. Just like I wanted. I knew I'd come back. I'll try again. And now that moment has arrived. I've returned to the synthesizer on weekends. First, 10 minutes on Sunday. Then 20 minutes. Maybe a little bit of November has returned. And then 10 minutes on Saturday. And 20 minutes on Saturday. And 10 minutes almost every day on weekdays. That's my record so far!

  Somewhere since the second half of spring 2025. When the sun was already shining. And it was getting light. And at the same time, it was still cold and even frosty. BUT, closer to warmer days. Which are about to begin. I decided to learn computer technology. From scratch. Before that, there was a stage of holding my ground, temporarily learning something here and there. And then I took this step.

  Now I have some free time. Let's listen to music. Or play games. Or just sit on a chair and relax, drink tea. I played a cool game. During the New Year holidays. I bought it during the winter sale on Steam. It's called King Island I. And there's a second part. Similar. And the third part is even given away for free.

  The retro theme of the 80s attracts and interests many. An interesting and vibrant style. It's not about the past. It's so nostalgic and dreamy. It's not about the future. Which is yet to come. Or maybe it's right now?

  Alice walked along a path. She chose a way. And now she's following the trail. Yellow autumn leaves all around. And a bunch of half-withered autumn plants. Such yellow grass. Already dry. And some blades of grass almost like sticks. Everything changes so much here.

  My adventures in the world of music continue. It's already the new year, 2026. The year started off well. And recently. Over the past month or two, I've picked up a few things. I've taken even more steps toward music. And bass guitar. Now it's Sunday, at first I played 20 minutes. And now even longer. But for now, it's 20 minutes on Sunday. And on weekdays, I've added 10 minutes to the bass guitar. That's Tuesday, Thursday.

  Pre-New Year's spirit. Holidays. And then my brother suggests playing Heroes of Might and Magic 3. The version with the VCMI engine. A greatly improved version. It has screen scaling using the middle mouse wheel. And a modern resolution. And much more. Now the game looks modern. And it's very interesting to examine the game map.

  I've been listening to Duran Duran's album Danse Macabre for a while now. The song "Spellbound" was the first one that caught my attention. I also listen to this song "Siouxsie." And of course, I was really intrigued that Duran Duran have a similar song. Well, they sing it. In their own way. A dark dance. Very well recorded.

  This year, I tried out various games. I tried quests. Just for fun. Find an item. Or the typical point-and-click. Earthworm was a memorable quest. Mysticism, surrealism. Everything is so strange and also Lovecraftian. The color scheme is like a dream, everything in such soft tones. It's about an island. Where something strange is happening. And a private detective. He also investigates these strange things. I'm a fan of that kind of thing. But I didn't play much.

  Continuing into 2024, I continued playing racing games. I tried to make it my main genre. You just drive. That's all. It was supposed to be simple and fun. Like an action RPG or shooter, just racing. That's what I thought. But it didn't work out that way. WRC 6 is a serious simulator after all. Constant drifts, speed control. I just kept doing laps in that rally in single races. Just for fun.

  I haven't played as much this year. I've been studying more. But I still played. I played Steam and GoG on a modern Atlus H376 computer. I mostly played on weekends. And it was also summer. I came home from the dacha on Sunday and started playing games. For example, Serious Sam: The First and Second Encouters. I even finished them. They're so summery.

  Back at Progressive Raver. I found something to listen to. It's a single. About virtual reality. I guess. That's the name. The cover is minimalist. In white. And I liked it. There are numbers. 01. A bit flat. Looks nice.
