It’s odd how few people actually know about Operation Downfall. Yeah, the nukes weren’t a great thing, but the alternative was far, far worse. It happened 70 years ago and it was war. People die in war, it’s kind of the point. Either 250,000 people die or several million people die. Bad things happened, but sometimes the past plays out better for the future. It happened, you can’t change it, get over it.

Here We Are, 70 Years After The Nuclear Obliteration Of Hiroshima And Nagasaki, And I’m Wondering If

Here we are, 70 years after the nuclear obliteration of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and I’m wondering if we’ve come even one step closer to a moral reckoning with our status as the world’s only country to use atomic weapons to slaughter human beings. Will an American president ever offer a formal apology? Will our country ever regret the dropping of “Little Boy” and “Fat Man,” those two bombs that burned hotter than the sun? Will it absorb the way they instantly vaporized thousands of victims, incinerated tens of thousands more, and created unimaginably powerful shockwaves and firestorms that ravaged everything for miles beyond ground zero? Will it finally come to grips with the “black rain” that spread radiation and killed even more people — slowly and painfully — leading in the end to a death toll for the two cities conservatively estimated at more than 250,000?

Yet Americans still view the bombings as an act of mercy

I made this after class in Animation two weeks ago and fixed it up on monday and I keep forgetting to post it

I wanted to make it a gif but ToonBoom doesn't export gifs by default and Photoshop CC doesn't let you alter the framerate like Elements 5 (which is super restricted in size and duration) does

I have never seen that battleship before and it kicked the shit out of everyone.

Also got Atago Kai'd last night so she could cannibalize more boats for strength and keep me from the cap. Got another Jun'you from that last run as well, giving me two of the best crippled carriers who can get MVP even when unable to launch planes in the shelling phase.

Parallax

Parallax originated as a 3D action platformer where you played as a special operations cat doing battle with the evil dogs. It shifted to anthropomorphic animals and then to kemonomimis where they are at now. The gameplay also changed from a Sonic Adventure-like game with jets to a First Person Shooter, more akin to Halo.

The first written content for Parallax is from back in 2005, a stats page with weapons and vehicles names, damage and capacity, after was a walkthrough style campaign synopsis, complete with terrible spelling. Many of the items have been renamed and almost everything, if not everything, has been rebalanced. Balance then heavily favored the Cats (Cazanans). Now I feel the weapons are fairly well balanced against each other, a few exceptions being weapons I have not worked with much, semi-redundant weapons and when vehicles are involved.

In 2008 I started making a web comic, because web comics were cool, so as to help make some brackground for the Parallax universe. It is called Parallax Beginnings, in reference to how it was to take place before the main game storyline. Updates have been extremely slow and infrequent. It stopped several times for several reasons. This last stall was so as to design the characters and equipment more completely before getting too far along and having mighty morphin power armor, as seen by Church's black and red armor. It also gives me time to rewrite much of the comic's story without the need of retconning anything.

I got into those awful forum RPGs around that time as well, resulting in a Parallax RPG on the comic's forum. Be Advised the quality of posts in that time is horrendous. The RPG was run with little to no planning and acts as a semi-canon instance of the universe where I would play around with ideas and keep things I liked. Much of the resulting content is not canon, making the Parallax RP a bad reference for Parallax canon. Things that are maintained in canon from the RPG are Hellen's Point, Steve and Steve's Stuff, Sergio (The Invincible) and Quaran. It has been one of the largest contributors to the setting's background.

More recently I got the idea of "What if my characters were in a Dota?". The result was a rather large influx of new characters. Before that, the "Newest Character" was Erika Keenly, who quickly stole Main Character position in the comic and general character development from Ryan (O')Connar. Erika has not and will not have an appearance in the comic for quite some time and she is already the most developed character. The New Newest Character is actually the result of a school project. The unnamed Not-Mokou in need of a redesign. Her story is untied to the Cazanan-Dronok war, but I intend to have it tie together in the FPS, along with making her a boss.

I would quite like to make a Wiki, however I'm not sure what all I could put on it at the moment without it being mostly plot spoilers.
