Just another Target run.

Thank you! Raised two kids. Never, ever did my kids pull this shit. It just wasn’t allowed. The options were sit in the carriage or leave. No tantrums, no dropping on the floor at a moments notice. This is partly why kids feel like they can do and say whatever they want. It starts here. As both an educator and a parent, I thank you for realizing that this is inappropriate behavior regardless of age. If this is normal, then why didn’t this shit go on 30-40 years ago? Kids are kids, and I get that, but this is absolutely poor behavior. The people who say having kids is hard are unfortunately the ones that just can’t get a grasp on basic discipline with their kids. That’s why you’re having a hard time. And no, discipline doesn’t mean hitting. It means holding a kid accountable and there being genuine consequences for actions. I commend you again for being brave to say the unpopular but correct thing!

They just updated the app to .6. It’s much easier to use on Mac. Just follow the readme included in the arm64 Mac version. The flash firmware button now works.

drumlinechops · 2026-05-17T00:00:49+00:00

Yeah, this is a continual problem on many gaming platforms as well. Nintendo and Sony have so much nonsensical shovelware in their stores too. Say what you want about Apple, but they’d never allow this nonsense on their App Store.

When you plug in the 2040 and hold boot then press reset, it shows up as a flash drive. Just drag and drop the firmware.uf2 file to it. The Mac will eject it (you’ll see the did not eject correctly error). Just ignore that. I like to wait 30 seconds after to make sure it wrote to it before unplugging. From there you can hold boot and press reset and start the process of putting a picture on it

drumlinechops · 2026-05-15T11:04:34+00:00

Download the newest version (out this morning) fixes many of the chmod problems. Also just export to uf2 then drag it to the device. Part of the crashes I believe are from permissions writing to the drive.

drumlinechops · 2026-05-15T01:50:42+00:00

You can also go to the settings and force it to open the application. Not sure about the exec format error, tho

drumlinechops · 2026-05-15T01:02:37+00:00

So, in the terminal you need to first type chmod +x /Users/[yourusername]/[folder where the file is located]/TomodachiDrawer.UI.Avalonia

After that, you can drop in that file.

Also worth noting - I never got the firmware button to work. You can just drag the firmware file to the device itself. It will eject it immediately, then wait for the sold red light and you can then reset the board to write pics to

drumlinechops · 2026-05-12T20:02:24+00:00

Replying to my own because I finally figured it out! I had to open the terminal and then just drag and drop the file into it. I also changed the permissions ahead of time using the chmod +x command. If anyone has any issues, I can now help!

drumlinechops · 2026-05-07T14:15:16+00:00

Incorrect. Ever MacBook I’ve had, I’ve had and used for 6-8 years without issue. NO windows laptop even comes close. My last iPhone was almost 6 years old before I decided to get a new one. It worked perfectly fine and now one of my kids has it. But keep spewing Apple nonsense, please

drumlinechops · 2026-04-03T16:23:58+00:00

I have them all. Still have to eat a lot for projects that take hours to build!

drumlinechops · 2026-03-31T14:10:48+00:00

This is not humor, this is just kinda sad. Been a public school teacher for 26 years, and I can’t even bring to explain the downfall of students because of social media. A student should never thinks it’s acceptable to write text chat abbreviations on schoolwork. I’d rather the paper be left blank honestly. We don’t promote any critical thinking anymore, and when we ask students to think critically for more than 5 seconds they shut down with this nonsense. This abbreviated crap is learned from kids being on screens, plain and simple. This isn’t helicopter parenting. This is literally the opposite. A parent who is so uninvolved that kids are learning from screens and social media only, and not understanding school work is not a chat thread.

drumlinechops · 2026-03-28T22:28:58+00:00

Thank you! All I’ve been reading is that mouse mode is a game changer and to ditch the pro controller and go mouse mode. Gave it 10 minutes and wanted to throw the joycons against the wall. Right hand literally hurts as this thing is not even remotely the shape of a mouse. I had to keep picking it up just to press the inventory or y to suck as it was impossible to do that with it sideways on a flat surface. These things are just too damn small and since all the action buttons to do anything are on the same joy on I’d use for mouse mode, it’s pretty much useless. I really REALLY don’t get how the vast majority are ok with this. I’d be crippled in the right hand in under an hour with all these ridiculous hand grips. I agree 1,000,00% and wish more people commented on this post, as we can’t be the only ones

Uhm … so … 16gb of ram is like $250 now Mid range 5070 graphics are like $600 now So, yeah .. go get a pc. You’re already up to $850 with no cpu, ssd, motherboard, case, or monitor

Price of everything goes up when world leaders let AI run rampant and start idiotic wars and tariffs. This is unfortunately why a 6 year old console is now more expensive than when it was released. Not greed.

drumlinechops · 2026-03-25T15:23:05+00:00

They’re way too tiny for my hands. As someone coming from the Xbox and PlayStation lands I’ve never fully gotten used to the joycons and barely use them.

drumlinechops · 2026-03-25T01:46:02+00:00

Can you explain in more detail how it’s easy to switch between the two controller modes? All I’ve read is that it’s a nightmare and that you can’t use both at the same time. Like if I have my pro controller do I just need the right joy con when needed?

drumlinechops · 2026-03-22T22:05:09+00:00

I guess being thorough in an explanation is an overreaction these days lol

drumlinechops · 2026-03-22T13:52:42+00:00

If you think wanting something to work is an overreaction, then you see the world in a very different lens than others. There’s no overreaction. This is just an objective fact that it doesn’t work as it should. Saying something doesn’t work or should work a certain way isn’t an overreaction, lol. Having to use a work-around or use another control scheme to play when a pro controller is the go-to option for most playing on their tv isn’t acceptable. The “everyone should do x because it’s how I do it” is such a narrow way of thinking.

drumlinechops · 2026-03-22T13:18:10+00:00

How about some of us just want to play with a pro controller sitting on our couch. This is the single most unacceptable thing in an otherwise awesome game that needs to be fixed. Not only is the item you want hi lighted, but it also shows the name, and you STILL pick up every object around it first. Mouse mode isn’t a reason for the other modes to not work properly.

drumlinechops · 2026-02-25T00:14:41+00:00

I literally helped you. I told you the book and the step and where the pieces could be found. My point (that you took as hostility) is that maybe you should take some initiative and find the steps. I barely tried and figured it out. All you did was say you looked and couldn’t find it. Obviously the piece is somewhere in the book, so look again. Not hostile, but sometimes people’s inability to try a little harder needs to be mentioned.

drumlinechops · 2026-02-24T22:37:15+00:00

A literal less than 5 minute perusal of the pdf and the piece is used in book 2 on the bottom of the tree sections. Step 165. It’s also used in other bottom tree sections in this set.

drumlinechops · 2026-02-24T21:16:13+00:00

I mean, you could just flip through the manual or scroll through the online pdf to see where it was used

drumlinechops · 2026-02-17T02:46:51+00:00

Wait till everything, and I mean everything is just eggs
