Watched: Rushmore 🍿 - enjoyed it

Cover art of the movie Rushmore by Wes Anderson from 1998 with a review rating it as Liked It.

Babo: The Haftbefehl Story (2025)

Quite a long documentary about a severely addicted cocaine user whose music I've never been able to stand. My opinion of this artist hasn't changed. Neither has my opinion of cocaine.

LM Studio

Run local LLMs like gpt-oss, Qwen3, Gemma3, DeepSeek and many more on your computer, privately and for free.

LM Studio is the app I now use for running local LLMs.1 In LM Studio I mainly use gemma‑3‑12b, mostly for alt‑text generation, and the gpt‑oss‑20b model. Both run fine on my Mac equipped with 32 GB of RAM.

  1. I switched from Ollama because LM Studio is much more versatile, and I don’t get their “sign‑up, log‑in, and run remote LLMs” options for a software that was designed for offline usage. ↩︎

Print and Play - Dungeon Pages

In the latest Hiro report, I read about an app called Roll N' Write for iPadOS. I had never heard about these print and play games and was wondering what they were about. I found the idea compelling, although I’m not a big RPG guy. I’ve downloaded the app, which looks decent, but as I am not a heavy iPad and Apple Pencil user anymore, I was more interested in the paper version. Especially because I recently found joy using pen and paper for some things in my life. The app’s screenshots featured Dungeon Pages. Right now you can get the core set for free on this Kickstarter page. So, I’ve printed a dice tray, bought some normal dice, and laminated some sheets. I still have to defeat my first boss dungeon - the game is quite hard. I had lots of fun playing it whenever I felt I could waste some time doom scrolling through the socials. I haven’t gone down the rabbit hole of this whole new universe yet, but I think I might try 52 Realms next.

TIL that you can’t connect to your Fujifilm camera with your iPhone via its local wifi if you have a VPN service running in the background 🤦‍♂️. So, don’t blame the camera, blame yourself.

Today was a good day to shoot the moon.

Full moon against a dark sky.

Poor Things (2023)

Review Poor Things: Just when you think you've seen it all 😳 (Liked It)

Yesterday, we had a pretty impressive sunrise.

A dramatic sunset with streaks of pink and red clouds dominating the sky. Silhouetted rooftops are visible along the horizon.

Here We Go!

Berlin

A modern urban scene with a tall, thin pole casting a long shadow across a wide plaza. The sun is directly behind the pole, creating a halo effect. On the left, silhouetted people are walking and pulling suitcases. To the right, a tall, glass-paneled building reflects the sky, with its geometric design adding visual interest. A construction crane and city buildings are visible in the background. The sky is partly cloudy, enhancing the dramatic lighting.

LEGO 72046

I am extremely impressed with the LEGO Game Boy set. The build technique is outstanding. There are only two stickers and it looks absolutely brilliant. I am glad I made an exception to my “no new LEGO sets” rule.

A shelf displaying various handheld gaming devices and cartridges. There are several Game Boys (DMG, Color), a Modretro Chromatic and an Analogue Pocket. Cartridges are neatly arranged, with one prominently featuring "Donkeykong Land" game in a yellow case inside an Epilogue GP Operator. A yellow handheld console with a crank is also visible, a Playdate device.

Family Plan review: Nice idea, but the dull action bored me pretty quickly. Rating: Decent

Parasite (2019) movie review: disturbing but very good

Finished reading: Auf See by Theresia Enzensberger 📚

Skyscraper (Frankfurt am Main, Germany)

Tall modern buildings against a clear blue sky. The central skyscraper has a distinctive overhanging section near the top, casting a bright silhouette with the sun positioned directly behind it. Surrounding the buildings are several trees, and there’s a curved, glass-covered structure on the right. Shadows create contrasting patterns on the ground.

Wolfs (2024) review: obvious plot holes and a little too close to slapstick
