For extra hilarity, this particular tweet is the result of this one: https://twitter.com/Boogie2988/status/969305333645692930 I never knew who this Boogie dude was until recently either but I can't imagine he hasn't always been a huge fuckin toolbox based on the fact that everything he says is ludicrously stupid.

alg posted:They've had official DCC tournaments at the past several Gencons. The 2017 module just released for home play, and you can upload your results to their site. It's pretty neat, but not worth watching other people play. DCC is so aggressively old-school that I imagine they feel the need to check off that sort of box; and it's more focused on the crawl than role-play, anyway, so it definitely fits the hole they're trying to plug.

Also did anyone notice that they said they would “recast” the RPGsports team? Not deselect, bench, or bar, like you do in sports. “Recast”, like you do in performances. It appears the “AP meta effect” has already been planned in; it’s actually “RPG pro wrestling”...

Also if you advocate for gay rights every hate crime death is kinda your fault too'. Like, even before he said 'well hey maybe the holocaust had SOME good...' the dude was, at best, dumb as poo poo.

I used to watch boogie back when he was just an "aw shucks" kind of inoffensive video game you tuber. Then gamergate happened and he started doing his maybe both sides have appoint poo poo and I washed my hands of him. he is, yeah, a total spineless centrist boot licker. Also voted for Stein in 2016  I'm guessing by this time 2019 he'll have gone full open alt right.

It's also one of my pet peeves because the holocaust didn't actually produce any valid medical research! It was just some loving sadists putting starving people into ice water and then saying "yeah I guess Jews die easily in ice water, unlike Aryans" or doing sadistic experiments on twins. None of it was of any value, and that's even assuming you can trust that a sadistic Nazi wasn't lying when he wrote down how long it took someone to die. This idea in culture that the Nazi's were somehow making scientific progress instead of just coasting on what they inherited is one of the stupidest bits of WW2 propaganda that people somehow take for face value to this day.

They destroyed a lot of genuine medical research when they came to power, so the Nazis actually contributed a negative amount to the field. Yep. Anything that didn't support the 'Aryan master race' mythology got burned. Germany was a world leader in medical science, including research on gender and sexuality that we're only recently catching back up to, before they decided to destroy all the research that was too Jewish or too queer.

The age of modern rocketry arguably began with Robert Goddard, an American scientist, in the goddamn 1920's.

But that was just a logical iteration of pre-existing technology, rockets would've been developed with or without the Nazis just the same.

I'd say that the biggest knowledge that the world gained with operation paperclip is the various interrogation and counter-guerrilla tactics that gentlemen like Mr. Barbie, Mr. Skorzeny and the men of Villa Baviera helped teach the police and military forces of South American regimes to use with grace and tact.

Personally, I'm disappointed the world never got to see a fistfight between literal Space-Wizard Jack Parsons, the true father of the space age, and Wernher von Braun, the sinister nazi saboteur. In terms of Nazi Holocaust science, basically all we got was some vaguely useful raw data on precisely how long it takes someone to die if you do <x>, which isn't really terribly useful when the people in question were malnourished and routinely disease-ridden concentration camp inmates. Most of the useful science the Allies pillaged out of Germany wasn't developed as part of it, and was in industrial processes, chemical/biological warfare (the nazis, at the time, were the world leaders in it) and bunker design rather than the medical sphere.

Alien Rope Burn posted:DCC is so aggressively old-school that I imagine they feel the need to check off that sort of box; and it's more focused on the crawl than role-play, anyway, so it definitely fits the hole they're trying to plug. I dunno, DCC roleplaying is pretty great. For one, I like that classes are all really powerful, and they all feel like specific archetypes. Fighters in other games feel like guys that hit hard, but with Deeds, lucky weapons(which are also named in the Lankhmar rules), and the absolutely horrendous amount of damage you can deal, it really does feel like an amalgamation of Aragorn, Conan, etc. You're not "a guy dat fights with a sord!" you're a legendary hero. Thieves, with their luck gambling and "backstabs are always crits and your weapons die get better" are much more threatening than any rogue, you got wizards feeling like warlocks and witches, less "gandalf but with a five minute work day" and there are actual pacts with demons unlike 5e which makes warlocks a damage class that gets 'pacts' as part of mechanics and nothing else. Clerics feel like paladins and holy warriors, and the Elves genuinely feel like the iron-fearing, magic working casters of faerie. Dwarves are sadly generic. I dunno, I really feel there's a lot of story in DCCRPG, from its XP system that rewards difficulty of encounter, not value of monsters slain or treasure gained, to the fact that...all DCCRPG adventures have a ton of story in there. It's fun and not lovely. Still, the tournament poo poo is pretty cool. I dunno how much fun it would be to watch, but maybe some animated encounters.

Pretty much all technology is just the logical iteration of pre-existing technology and pretty much all technology would have been developed eventually. Nonetheless, rocket science is the one field that the Nazis were ahead in. Not terribly far ahead, what with the V-2 being based on Goddard's designs, but the experience learned in going from a design to a working rocket is significant.

He was just interested in their use in for weather forecasting instead of strapping bombs to them. There also was some decent science that came out of the camps, but none of it was done by the Nazis. Some camped scientists decided to record the physical effects of their starvation, which has proved somewhat useful in saving lives afterwards. But that happened despite the awful conditions and murder people were put through not because of them. Like in basically everything else, Boogie is an awful human being and full of poo poo.
