  Jenny is the singer from Ace of Base. She's been doing solo work. She's been online for about a year now. Her new songs. They're practically brand new. Three songs. Three videos. And it all started with the video for "Keep Quiet." The pop genre remains the same. But the sound here is definitely new. Not Ace of Base, but its own new sound. Its own sound design. But quite similar, I guess. But actually, it's its own. Ace of Base fans will love it. And anyone who enjoys that kind of thing will love it too.

  This time, it's more about programming. Two themes. Music. An entire software module that plays music. And a number indicator. In sprite form. Otherwise, the game looks the same as last time.

  A new year has already begun. It's 2026. And I continue to remember my dacha days. On weekends, I'll go to the dacha. I've grown a whole garden there. I did a lot of things in the summer of 2025. I sat in the little house at my computer, a white Acer Aspire V13. I did something on it. Then I ran out into the garden a lot. I worked on the garden. I came back to the little house. I drank tea.

  I found another game for myself. Also small. And compact. So small that it fits in a window. And it's so cozy to play in the evening. It's about dungeons. A roguelike game about dungeons. So typical. And that's what's so good about it. We wander through a dungeon. Collect items. Destroy monsters. Level up. And that's it.

  Dive in with Mark. He's the composer. And here again, a progressive rave theme. A good rhythm. Not very varied. But suitable for relaxation. The rhythm develops over time, but not too quickly. And a water wave. The cover is simply superb! A huge wave. It's probably surfing. A wave in the ocean.

  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.
