My wife can understand the concept of running a virtual airline (still does not understand why anybody would do it). Fantasy sports, that's one that i doubt she would get...
Girlfriend understands. Friends mock! :laugh:
The girlfriend mocks too..then she tells everyone. I just tell them how cool I am. 8)
But I enjoy a good business simulator, she plays terrorist takedown 3..who's even heard of that? :'(
Playing such is one thing but try to explain why you (=I) need to code and plan "this and that feature" to it.. ???
Well... girlfriend knows that I have a huge passion for airplanes... but don't understand how can I have fun setting up flights and looking at pie charts lolol...
I have a wife.

Woman logic, you can't fault it.

Yeah, not sure I would go to that extreme (not I said "not sure," not "I wouldn't.") My wife thinks I am an idiot for spending so much time on AWS, but when I tell her "but Honey, my airline is the largest in the world!" she rolls her eyes and says "well, a least you are a success somewhere...." :laugh: :-[

But she doesn't ask you if you can pause? I used to do alot of online gaming in the past..but when you get called on every 5 minutes..it's kind of difficult.
'No, I can't pause, I will just die and have wasted the past half hour winning'

The best is when you call the market every 15 minutes waiting for more planes, she calls you to help with something, and when you come back you find out you missed the refresh and all the <insert desired plane here> the refresh had to offer and now you only have 1 call left and it is Wednesday.... :laugh:
I own a fictional American football team in addition to my airlines. She seems to understand as she plays some facebook games I consider to be utterly pointless myself but not when it gets to the point that I complain about the thousands of dollars I have lost from brand new planes just sitting on the tarmac for months while we're stuck in that damned real world.
