USAFMTL Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Yep Sheila is mad as a hornet at me. I bought the BF-109 and the Mirage. For some reason she didn't like my... "But its Christmas" excuse.

joebloggs Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 If you think that's wallet damage, try spending £1300 on a new computer like I have. Plus add the Mirage and NTTR map to that and top it of with a good pair of speakers. Now that's what I call wallet damage :)
mondaysoff Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Same here as joebloggs, but I also had to buy a new monitor as well, the 0.5gb of VRAM on the iMac just wasn't cutting it. Total spend £1800. Big day today, firing it up, fingers crossed. Also my first ever home build.
Slipp Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Mine supports my DCS hobby. She even pretendsto care about it sometimes, by asking questions about it, when she's in a good mood. :lol:

NeilWillis Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 The blender suggestion sounds great, but better yet, make it an iron, apparently they love ironing!
felthat Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Thanks god i use items charged Steam wallet to get modules Now i have to find excuse to buy thrustmaster warthog :>

TwoLate Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 The blender suggestion sounds great, but better yet, make it an iron, apparently they love ironing! If I give my wife an iron she ask what is this and does it come with instructions. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Len62 Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Oh yeah, the iron will work... I do like December though, b-day, anniversary, and Xmas, and I usually get "buy something for yourself", as she has no clue when it comes to buying computer related items. NTTR was my b-day gift!
NeilWillis Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 So your entire rig cost just £50 like mine then Len? Good man! One thing I must say to all men out there. Whatever you do, DO NOT BUY FLOWERS! Nothing raises suspicion like trying to be nice! Admit it, the first thing she says when you make these hopelessly romantic gestures is "OK buster, what did you do this time?".
Gunja Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Step 1 Borrow a pet (the biggest dog you can find) for an afternoon. Bring it home and say you're in love with it. Step 2 After she screams her head off, take it back and pretend you're devastated for a day. Step 3 Buy what ever the hell you wont, as long as it's not alive. ps. If she likes dogs, borrow a pet snake.
USAFMTL Posted December 6, 2015 Author Posted December 6, 2015 Well considering that I pay for the damn zoo she has rescued, the argument disappeared when I pulled out thew latest vet bill and showed her. She just smiled, and said, good point. One of the rate times I got over on the SFC. :) [sigpic][/sigpic] US Air Force Retired, 1C371 No rank or title will ever be as important as the unit patch you wear.
cichlidfan Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 A spouse with an expensive hobby does come in handy I guess. ;) Being single, I just ended up buying a house so that the pit could have it's own room. :P ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!

JINX_1391 Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Wife: Hey, how to you bring up comms to request taxi and take off? Me: use the "\" on the keyboard the the F-keys to navigate through the options. Wife: Can you show me? Me: (completely stops doing whatever in DCS) Yes! Of course I can. You know I like when you take interest in what I do. (Brings up comm menu, goes through the different menus) Wife: I didn't see "wife" as an option...is that like F12 or something? Me: Huh? No. Wife: Ah, so that's why you can buy all this with out permission. Me: I'll report the bug.

flyingscotsman Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) I can't complain, I got the Mirage and NTTR as a 'saving' on the full price as soon as they came out, then I had a few injuries from previous military life (Lugging too much in a skinny body) so when work got me a new chair and stand up table, wonderful wife got me the pilot seat (LOL). Mind you it did cost me a house and we're working on getting it to the bosses' standard, but the computer room 'spare' room will never be decluttered...'do you really need all that?,,,er yes, do you really need the dog? ....it goes all quiet, tee hee (I'm no hero, just old cold war warrior) Shes the best thing that ever happened to me, and does ask from time to time what the hell I'm doing. Did bug the hell out of her in the PMDG 737 with the stewardess call,....that went down well. Edited December 9, 2015 by flyingscotsman

In the last 3 years I spent approx. $30K indirectly to this "hobby" :D So what do you think how "mad" was my wife ? :chair: Atop the midnight tarmac, a metal beast awaits.

El Hadji Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) Wait until you tell her that you MUST spend €320 on rudder pedals that a furniture manufacturer in Croatia makes... And do that AFTER you used the "but it is Christmas" excuse to buy a TM HOTAS Warthog and a 144hz monitor (in addition to the ones you already own) but "forgot" to mention you bought a TrackIR5 + ProClip at the same time.
