Now to find someone who can decipher mysterious codes! First quest unlocked!

[–] Frog@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Find someone with a tattoo to decipher the code. His tattoo says "sweet".

You didn't realize you had another tattoo on your upper back.

Scene

[–] fjordbasa@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I swear that scene is like a modern absurdist take of “Who’s on first?”

There's a great scene in Harry Potter and the Natural 20 where they find the Mirror of Erised, and Milo the Human Wizard gets to use his ranks in Code Breaker, which he's never used before. He busts out the pen and paper, ready for a difficult d20 check that will test the limits of his stats. And then he realises it's just backwards. He's so disappointed.

It's just 'you have amnesia' backwards

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

How is it that you know so much about mysterious codes?

[–] scaramobo@lemmynsfw.com 13 points 2 days ago

Don't believe his lies

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 days ago

Memento. Great movie.

And then gets deceived by Carrie-Ann Moss.

And Joe Pantoliano.

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

He did, and he had one.. it was in Japanese and read "stupid".

Lots of them, all scattered across the body. And those tattoos should be investigated by the FBI agent whose name is one of the enigmatic tattoos. They're also expected to be deciphered at the right moment by a brilliant FBI mathematician. (Spoiler: there are also tattoos using invisible ink that can only be seen when the person visits a place full of UV lights). It takes time.

remember Sammy Jenkis

The best use of this plot point was in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean (Part 6)

I mean, literally phenomenal and hilarious at the same time.

At least that's confirm. Could be he just spawn from nothing right there.
