John T. Valles II: Chief SonicAdventure2 Apologist

Hey there! My work is always available at toonstop.com, but here’s a thread with some of my top work!

@ssrwives @HedProtag I really don’t think it was wise to set this up and put yourself in a situation where you couldn’t follow through. It’s not good for your perception or the perception of the IP. Are you even interested in making the game the audience was looking forward to?

full view for fun

SHOW'S OVER @SinGameDev looks kinda interesting so I'm drawing the pretty redhead for a few shows WIP number 1 See you next time!

@barukalas @milkytruffle sorry mate we did not realize that also I am a media professional who turns to jelly when @milkytruffle wants something from me so you can understand how this might have come to be given that combination of elements

@milkytruffle I have a 2019 version I could have sent you!

I've updated the prayers we use for our Anglican Prayer Beads ("Rosary") so that they can be printed on a single postcard and distributed. It's all taken directly from the Prayer Book. drive.google.com/file/d/1mgANKh…

@LinesharkArt @stubed_toe glad you uploaded it this is good stuff

@betweenfailures Abilene TX and Midland TX were the places I visited most often. I think both of those locations had enough standalone business to survive somehow and turned into EntertainMART. Abilene had to downsize but took their stock to a very large mall space. Midland just rebranded.

@toonstop Depending on the location their selection was often exceptional.

Debatable. How are people feeling about Hastings?

@GooseyTeeth you’d be too

@toonstop she's so proud

@tautologer I like it but they didn’t quite get the tone and cadence right

"that's right, we'll fuck your Claude!" is one of the funniest lines I've heard in recent memory. this is fucking art

@operationdanish "strict curfews. strict bedtimes, screen limits, device drop off times, dedicated homework blocks, and sleepover restrictions" Look, I'd call myself a gentle parent, but none of these are all that revolutionary a concept. You're just teaching your kid safety and time management.

We now have evidence that gentle parenting doesn’t work. Here’s an uncomfortable truth about parenting no one wants to say out loud: The data is not kind to gentle parenting. According to teenagers, strict curfews. strict bedtimes, screen limits, device drop off times, dedicated homework blocks, and sleepover restrictions IMPROVE higher relationship quality. And yes, parenting difficulty goes up. Of course it does. Leadership is harder than appeasement. For the past decade we have been sold a watered down, Instagram friendly version of “gentle parenting” that often collapses into boundary avoidance, endless negotiation and emotional processing without enforcement. Parents terrified of saying no because they do not want to rupture connection. But connection without authority is not connection. It is dependency. When parents impose structure, the relationship improves. Teenagers report better parent child relationship quality in homes with curfews and rules. Younger kids report better relationships in homes with screen limits and bedtimes. Even device drop off times correlate positively. Why? Because structure is not cruelty. Structure is love made visible. A bedtime says: your brain matters more than your entertainment. A screen limit says: your dopamine system is not fully developed and I will guard it until it is. A curfew says: your safety matters more than your social standing. That is not authoritarianism. That is caring. Boundaries create friction. Friction creates growth. The parent absorbs the short term discomfort so the child does not pay the long term cost. Children do not experience well calibrated limits as rejection. They experience them as stability. The human brain craves predictability. Predictability reduces anxiety. Reduced anxiety strengthens attachment. That is why relationship quality goes up. Notice something else in the data. The strongest effects are around time structure. Bedtime. Homework. Devices. Outside play. These are environmental constraints. They scaffold executive function. The winning formula is not tyranny. It is high warmth plus high structure. The modern failure mode is high warmth plus low structure. That is just abdication of responsibility wrapped in empathy. Children need leadership, not negotiation. They need adults who can tolerate their anger. They need boundaries that do not move every time emotions spike. They need someone whose prefrontal cortex is fully myelinated. The harder path produces the stronger bond. Because when a child feels that someone is strong enough to hold the line, they relax. And relaxed nervous systems build durable relationships.
