I don’t understand, why is it brought up that she killed the people
The carpenter killed them, and forgot he did it with the transfer. Really, I think the woman shouldn’t consider it her crimes but I guess some confusion is understandable under the circumstances.
Seems the way the memory transfer works is that it makes it seem like YOUR memories. Not something that was delivered to you
What makes this one so perfect for me is that that piece is left unsaid by the comic. The joke exists almost entirely in the fact that the man is surprised; and that his surprise is genuine, as there’s nobody else in that basement to hear him say that.
Ah that makes sense, my hang up was I assumed the mind flayer just transfered skills in woodworking and not memories
He did a sloppy job.
The twelve people were carpentry whistleblowers.
I suppose this scenario is actually somewhat reassuring, because the guy who killed 12 people deserves whatever misfortune falls upon him. You wouldn’t have to feel bad stealing his knowledge and memories, and could also go to the local guards to turn him in with the knowledge you’ve obtained.
Though good luck sleeping at night with the knowledge of what it felt like to murder 12 people with your own hands and see the life fade from their eyes.
The way he reacted makes me think that not just the memory that he killed people was taken, but the desire to as well. Otherwise you think he’d be more like “I don’t remember doing this, but cool!”
There’s an interesting philosophical debate there. What good does imprison a guy who have no recollection of doing the crime, or the circumstances around them? Can be argued that the person who committed the crime and this guy finding the bodies are two different people who share the same body.
I think there was a book about this. Someone had a multiple lifetime sentence, so they kept cloning him to put him in jail.
Fantasy Dexter. Actually loves murder, but instead just gets their kicks vicariously by stealing the memories of murderers
I’d go looking for another mindflayer offering “spotless mind” services and pay to have those memories removed. Assuming they can be trusted, of course. The hard part being that they’re still mindflayers.
Huh, a PG-13 Oglaf comic. How rare.
I mean, really with sucking heads it is quite the surprise
They took this from a facebook RPG memes that its been trying to get me to look at. Saw it on my feed today.
Legitimately one of my favorite oglaf’s of all time
