Quoted from mbaumle:Must be a girl thing. My girlfriend says the same thing... Except it's more along the lines of "Oh yea, Max?! Just where do you think you'll be putting THIS one now? Didn't you tell me you were going to sell two of them last month?? What would you do if I just smashed them all??"
Don't live with my girlfriend of quite a while yet (long distance dealio, hasn't actually played the machines yet but is coming to stay for a while in June and hopefully move in, in December-ish) and although she's cool about it (probably would be in any young relationship) she's like "Another one? Where is this one going? Where are you getting this money?" however in a very neutral "eh" tone but the same questions my mom not-so-as-calmly asks me are starting to come from her, I guess it's a matter of time before it starts heavier.
Right now I'm the type of person who can literally spend all day devoting my time to these things since I'm young and ambitious and I only get time to work on them/play them 3 days or less every other week as they're stored away from home in another house, but once I had to start splitting my time up "fairly" (which apparently means two different things to both of us, hah) for a relationship it's hard. Luckily don't have the nagging wife yet about more machines/too many machines but damn me if I spend too many hours in the basement and not on Skype! This love stuff is hard.
If we ever break up and I'm not around for a month, don't worry, I'm probably just installing my new sleeping bag and mini-fridge in the basement as I make up lost time LOL. I can easily pinball for hours. Living away from the machines is awful especially when you're troubleshooting a problem and need to check something, or when you found the solution online it's even worse.
