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.
You get what you pay for, and that’s not much here.
The twelve people were carpentry whistleblowers.
Legitimately one of my favorite oglaf’s of all time
Huh, a PG-13 Oglaf comic. How rare.
I mean, really with sucking heads it is quite the surprise
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.
Fantasy Dexter. Actually loves murder, but instead just gets their kicks vicariously by stealing the memories of murderers
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.
