A) It was explained in an earlier comic that the meds just make the hallucinations weirder.WanderingFool said:The thing to consider is that:Sandytimeman said:I'm like...really mad at elliot here. He seriously just told someone he knows has mental problems to grow up.
LIKE GROWING UP CURES MENTAL PROBLEMS!!!!
A) She has medication she is suppose to be taking, which she should.
B) Her mental problems are largely her seeing videogame characters and talking to them. This could be considered less a mental problem, and more a of a way to childish imagination running amok.
C)... this is a web comic. Why the are we discussing supposed mental issues in it?
Okay, B and C are good point.InTheEnd said:A) It was explained in an earlier comic that the meds just make the hallucinations weirder.WanderingFool said:The thing to consider is that:Sandytimeman said:I'm like...really mad at elliot here.

B) I think that is more of an issue that everyone has to decide for himself. But also everyones hallucinations get kinda specific to himself. It's a subconcious thing.
C) Because it is fun.
Well it is an awesome thing for me and you, but obviously Errin considers it a bad thing.WanderingFool said:Okay, B and C are good point.InTheEnd said:SnipWanderingFool said:SnipSandytimeman said:Snip
For A though, you act like Spacemarine Link is a bad thing...

Thank you so much for this ^^ I miss the Persona series.Punch You said:I would've liked a SMT Persona 3 reference here, like "The Lovers Arcana has been reversed!"
Maybe next comic, Erin will have an epiphany, form a bond that can not be broken, and then be able to create the most powerful persona of the devil arcana, Beelzebub, prince of devils!
You know ,I thought that was pretty stupid, but after that "Grrr >.>" part I realized something, I don't just think that was pretty stupid, I know it was pretty stupidSandytimeman said:Dude...that was a dick move. I'm...like not even able to express my hate towards characters I previously liked. Mol and Mr.Geeky there need to go take a drive asap so they can run into another poll.
Seriously he is pretty much responsible for her brain damage, he doesn't know what its like to try and deal with the meds, and he doesn't care because hes hooking up with her roomate anyway. Why should he take any responsibility. Grrr >.>
This. I really dislike those two now, not only for the bullying but as the person I'm quoting said the lack of responsibility, Mol should get kicked out of her apartment now and have a bad break up with (the guy who's name escapes me).Sandytimeman said:Dude...that was a dick move.

I'm gonna agree with this evaluation. Trust me, I've seen similar cases. Sometimes a person gets pushed too far. That point would be when they or someone/something they care about is attacked. Saying that he is over-reacting after watching a fairly heavy object get thrown at his girlfriend's head is refusing to acknowledge his own concerns. And its a double whammy because the object that was thrown was his XBox. That may not be a family heirloom, but how many of you would be pissed if someone threw your game console against a wall? Regardless of whether they threw it at a person you care about? That's what I thought.Frostbyte666 said:The guy just watched Erin throw an x-box at his girlfriends head. I don't think he's thinking rationally, his rage on a hair trigger and is just about keeping from beating her to a pulp so best course of action get her out the house now before he does beat her up. The grow up Erin comment is probably more from anger than actually addressing her issues.
I kind of agree. This comic is starting to bum me out.erttheking said:I seriously think that this comic needs to lighten up.
