My wife says I am addicted to this game.

[LarryWallwart]

She's just jealous that I have hobbies that I enjoy.

[bonkers838]

My wife would probably say I play too much, but I insist that I can't hear her unless she's being relayed through CAPCOM.

This made me laugh like crazy at work. They already think I'm crazy thanks!

It just takes a long time to do a mission."

Maybe just start using timewarp?

[MR4Y]

Too vague to determine anything. Needs more TWR.

[goldenpeach]

Tell her that she have to choose: either she let you play KSP or either you leave her.

I don't see the point of a life without KSP(KSP is the meaning of life, by the way).

DISCLAIMER: don't try that, it's not a good advice

[m4rt14n]

Your wife obviously needs moar boosters. Then she'll see your point of view.

Or Moar Struts!

[liweih]

Create a kerbal with your wife's name and send her to eeloo or let her name a kerbal then let her send it to eeloo. Besides, any wife here in the forum? XD

[MR4Y]

Your wife needs more TWR.

[Camelotking524]

Tell her you can either play Kerbal or you can talk to her about Kerbal. Then you start talking about Orbital rendezvous and the benefits of a free return trajectory.

This should fix your problem post haste.

Unless you get an oddity like mine and she wants you to teach her how to play. Then you just hit the abort button and hope the escape tower takes you far enough away.

Addiction? Yeah right! There's no such thing as "addicted to KSP."

It's even funnier if you start to talk about how you got all this stuff done in such and such a manner- all you get is blank stares and then you can go about your business! This also works really well with programming.

My wife calls it playing with your stupid imaginary spaceships, she just doesn't understand what I could do with billions in funding.

[Superfluous J]

Price out a modest train set. Print the invoice for what it would cost to get started. Next time she mentions KSP give her that and tell her it could be worse.

[DJEN]

Spend less time doing KSP and have some quality time with your wife, sir.

And maybe find a hobby that both of you can enjoy.

[m4rt14n]

No way you're addicted to this game. You just come to this forum to read the maths...

She is all to familiar with the costs of hobbies. I collect guitars.

[FuzzyLlama]

Kerbal Multi-Player exists, right? My trouble is convincing my fiance that Kerbal is awesome fun for days on end.

[dragoncannon]

I'm not addicted to KSP. We're just in a committed, long-term relationship!

[pxi]

My response was this, "I'm not addicted. It just takes a long time to do a mission."

You can never stop at a single mission...

[Great General Kaboomsky]

I second the "Show her how cute Kerbals are" suggestion.

My wife carved a Kerbal pumpkin for Halloween and I'm pretty sure she has a crush on Jeb.

The complaints about my Kerbal time have stopped.

[StrandedonEarth]

Hmmm, for the price of KSP I could build a cheap model rocket and fly it three times. For $10 more I could fly it three more times, assuming it's not in a tree or on a roof by then.. For two copies of KSP I could have had that Saturn V model rocket (without engines), but the hobby shop had closed up when my wife finally broke down and tried to buy it for me for Christmas.

At least I haven't had a Kerbal rocket get stuck in a tree, unlike one of my model rockets with a payload of Lego astronauts (misjudged the stupid wind). At least I've convinced her KSP is cheaper. But I may have to build a model rocket out of orange tubes.... with struts! Lots of precious struts.....

[LostElement]

Wife? What is this 'Wife' you speak of? Is it a new Pokemon?

(I obviously am not addiction/obbsesed with ksp)

Maybe there is a mod which allow to choose female kerbals?

Anyone know which mode does that?

Charles Bolden? Is that you?

[SSSPutnik]

Haha! Nice one.

[GamerMitch]

My mom says I'm addicted, but I used the "it's educational" excuse. She seemed to buy it.
