Huh, a PG-13 Oglaf comic. How rare.

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!"

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

We don't know the reason he killed 12 people.

Could be those are 12 nobles he robbed, or 12 previous sexual partners he murdered due to a fetish

Really any number of reasons to kill and keep 12 bodies

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago

It is Oglaf, he is fucking the corpses.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Traditionally you bury or make the bodies not visible in some way unless you have some desire to see them.

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Could just be really shit at hiding them, like that guy who basically dissolved people and left their bones where they could be easily found

Turn the bones into bone meal, use it to grow stuff

Writing this just made farmers sound even scarier especially ones in rural areas far enough away from towns

Farmers could just feed the victims to hungry pigs and then turn the teeth and bones into bone meal

You'd never know if you where buying produce grown in part with human based bonemeal

Six pieces...

That's your karmic payment.

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.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

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.

Fantasy Dexter. Actually loves murder, but instead just gets their kicks vicariously by stealing the memories of murderers

[–] SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Kinda reminds me of a few Sci-Fi settings- Altered Carbon has people that enjoy murdering people, and since people can swap bodies freely that sort of thing is easily done. There's an explicit difference between 'sleeve death' and 'real death', even legally. Killing someone's sleeve- or body- is a crime, but it's not murder anymore. If you actually destroy the lil chip that actually contains the person, that's 'real death'. Man I love that show. S1, at least.

Alternatively, Cyberpunk with it's braindances could cater to an extremely similar audience.

Legitimately one of my favorite oglaf's of all time

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 10 points 1 year ago

The twelve people were carpentry whistleblowers.

[–] Remotedeck@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't understand, why is it brought up that she killed the people

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 94 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Remotedeck@discuss.tchncs.de 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah that makes sense, my hang up was I assumed the mind flayer just transfered skills in woodworking and not memories

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He did a sloppy job.

[–] Attaxalotl@ttrpg.network 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You get what you pay for, and that’s not much here.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good point, he did say it was a "tiny fee."

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seems the way the memory transfer works is that it makes it seem like YOUR memories. Not something that was delivered to you

[–] xantoxis@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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.
