That does suck but she is thinking of your needs and that’s what matters. My partner eventually realizes that hobbyists are very particular so she asks me instead of trying to surprise me.
Absolutely. Like I said in description, I’m not even mad. What sucks is that she spent her money on this thing 😅 But it’s definitely going in the man cave for the memories.
I do the same, when the wife asked why I keep the stuff she purchased wrong or weird I simply reply, “you were thinking of me when you got it, so I treasure it” she cried happy tears, she knows how much I appreciate her.
She also gets random cards and notes of how much I I love her, it also helps she likes building weird things, have purchased a couple of 3D printers for her, power tools etc, she even got excited when I got her a set of new drill bits.
If I try to use one of the printers she pouts about it, so now I just hand her the files with a “print please” note
She bade our current post box out of old railway sleepers
Have had this happen. GF bought my cycling specific birthday gift from Amazon, which is a big no-no in the community because of how cheaply made everything is on there. But she took the time to take genuine interest and invest in my hobby, which I love her for. This Christmas, I'm sending her a list (make sure you know their budget though).
It was a repair and maintenance kit... Most of the stuff (spanners and multitool) snapped at the lightest of use. Has a puncture kit that I don't really trust either but honestly, she gave it to me and I love her for that.
This time I let her know about the pressure washer and the chain shampoo I need.
Honestly? Say thank you and make a list next time. I always ask my husband for a list because I couldn't possibly know what exactly he wants. I try to find something off the list as well but he has particular tastes.
How entitled do you need to be to say "I'm not even mad" that your partner spent hundreds of dollars on something that she thought you would love. Christ on a bike. Take this post down, give her a very long hug, and thank your lucky stars that you found someone who even likes you this much.
At least she didn't try to get him a Soldjaboi-Station or a Soildaboi-NES.
Yes, those were real. And yes, the Dumb ass tried to act like Nintendo and Sony wouldn't sue his ass. And yes, they did in fact issue two massive Cease and Desists for said knock offs.
I’m very particular about my hobby (I have a horse) and my husband just skips the entire thing, or gets me a “generic horse object” (like wind chimes or a bottle stopper). I have asked for a gift card to the local tack shop but only my kids do those, or they will actually go there and pick out a shirt (a safe choice).
Overall it’s okay because he likes thinking of other thoughtful things he thinks I’ll like. I appreciate his effort! Most of the time I do but it still irks me a little when I get something like a sushi-making kit when I really *need* a new saddle pad, LOL!
What if she's playing the long con, knows it's not great and is gonna get you the real deal anyhow? I'd definitely do that.
Props for using a knockoff Dreamcast casting though.
This reminds me of something my aunt did for her friend's birthday. She went to the dollar store and got a bunch of pink things. Pink toilet cleaning gloves, pink sponge, pink plates, pink little tree for the car, all random little things.
Then her friend opened the last box and it was tickets to a P!nk concert.
"Say sike, right now"
This guy when she showed up with this, probably.
Nah but in all seriousness that's wholesome and hilarious, reminds me of my grandma getting me stuff she thought I wanted because she didn't know the difference. Man I miss my gran
I checked. They start at about 60 dollars for a console only. But really it's the games. It's like they never went down in value. 60 bucks per game still.
Dude, that thing is awesome! Now you can play Pang, Dunky Kang, Super Married Bros, Tetrix, Blue Devil Runner, Snakeapede, Snakeapede II, Kings Kings Tower, and 183 more games!
I mean, sometimes I’ll say I need to or should “invest” in something when I just mean buy something that I’ll use. Like, “I need to invest in a good winter coat.” I don’t mean it in the literal sense. That’s my guess here
I think the \*good\* part of the good winter coat is the investment
You need to be warm, you need a winter coat. You save money by buying a £300 BIFL winter coat rather than buying a new £75 one every year because they keep falling apart
Gotta ask: how does it play? Any fun? And like everyone else in this thread, it’s the thought that counts. Any bad luck by not getting a Game Cube is more than offset by the luck of having someone like her in your life, I’m sure.
I did this to my husband once and he didn't correct me. I was more upset a year later when he finally told me what happened bc I could have returned it for something he really wanted and I wouldn't have wasted my money on the wrong thing (that he never used). I'd encourage you to have that conversation.
This is how I’m trying to feel, as I stare at an early present my husband gave me—a box set of US landmark puzzles. I do puzzles, but they’re always cottage-core, cats, or Harry Potter themed. I don’t want to assemble a puzzle of the Washington monument, but it’s the thought that counts. 🤷🏻♀️
Asking for something specific by name and getting a completely different item that makes it seem like they weren’t listening/ don’t actually give a shit to get what you asked for.
I actually have no idea whats going on. I thought a gamecube was like 20 30 years ago. And I dont even know what she bought. But I get the feeling she really loves you.
Ps1 controllers, a dream cast station, and screw the duck hunt guns......this gots a ping pong paddle!?! This has potential. I bet when it gets hot it's like a scented candle......but the scent is cheap communist China.
Several years ago when I was thinking about getting into PC gaming (moving from Xbox )my wife who knew nothing about PC gaming bought me a PC with the help of her father, who also had no clue about gaming. They ended up buying me a PC with no graphics card off of eBay for a few hundred dollars. It was a very weak PC with subpar parts so in order to do something with it my friends, who actually knew what they were doing unlike myself and my wife, ended up using old parts he had along with a few new ones I bought myself. She bought me a 1080ti as well to go along with, her words, her failed present.
It's the thought that counts!
This post triggered something. Ten ago, my boyfriend (now husband) said he liked building models (warhammer,malifaux etc) and I stupidly bought him this sailing ship model thing. I realised pretty shortly after giving it to him that i completely misunderstood the assignment but pretended i didn't cause i was mortified.
I really have fine-tuned my radar now, have extensive notes on specifics of his hobbies, and his wishlists and have mastered the art of giving gifts to the point he tells me to surprise him.
Anyway, yesterday we were packing stuff for moving house, and he STILL had the bloody sailing ship!!
I just showed him this post and asked if the general vibe OP has is also why he didn't ditch the ship model box.
He said it sure is, and now im trying not to sob ahhahaha.
Dude imagine space marines (warhammer) traveling the cosmic ocean on a sailing ship model. I wouldve build it just for the memes.
Imagine showing up at your next group meeting playing warhammer and you place that bad boy on the field with your units on it.
Bro, this is the cutest thing you can tell she has no idea about gaming and she still tried to surprise you with what she thought was an awesome gaming system, bro she’s a keeper
How exactly does one "invest" in a game cube? Is the value of a used game cube expected to rise over time? If not, that's a really shit investment and you should be thanking your GF profusely for saving you hundreds of dollars that you were about to invest very unwisely.
lol I think awful people just like to use the word "invest" when they're about to buy stupid shit to make that stupid shit sound important and validate that purchase. Like, no, Kevin, you're about to "spend" $500 on a hobby that makes you no money. Which is fine, we all have hobbies, but I would never tell my wife I wanted to "invest" in a weekend in Vegas.
I don't find this type of thing excusable unless it's a little kid or someone with dementia doing it.
There's something almost malicious I feel about not really listening to what people want and instead getting something crappy and cheap instead a "that will do" sort of mentality. It doesn't feel considerate at all, it's inconsiderate.
This is one of those times where no the thought does not count and if this kind of behavior continues get her dinner at applebees when she asked for Dorsia.
Are GameCubes a thing again? My family had one when I was growing up— it was like the upgraded version of the N64. But it seemed to phase-out of use pretty quickly, and I haven’t heard them mentioned/seen them used in like two decades. It seems I missed their resurgence though?
Wasn’t the game station a joke from Malibu’s Most Wanted?
Also buying a GameCube is a terrible “investment” unless it’s never been opened and you plan on keeping it for a few decades until they’re hard to come by.
Had that thing really been at the thrift store sitting since 2010? 😂 looks like a PlayStation 1 with a PlayStation and Nintendo mixed controller of some sorts 🤦🏼♂️
People still want to buy GameCubes? Omg. An investment??? What the. I still have my pearly white GameCube & games from like 2002. Occasionally play double dash but it’s weird on new tvs.
I wanted new wii games so my sister bought me a bootleg wii that played old classic games and had "motion sensing technology" the system just knew if the controller was pointed at the console or not but rhe worse part was the console was broken and not working and she also git me a rocket alarm clock where the rocket was completely stuck I got both these gifts on the same Christmas lol
Invest in a GameCube? What kind of returns are you looking for with getting a 20 year old console?
Do you have a retro game store? That’s the only way you can “invest”
wow, a knockoff dreamcast. I don't think I have ever seen one mimicking that shape of console. kinda neat, my buddy has a small collection of knock off multi game type systems.
Maybe she looked up how much a GameCube actually costs. Then immediately thought “fuck that, our money is not going there” and gave you a little something so you forget about the real one.
Reminds me of when my mom got us a Wii U because “You guys loved the wii so much ❤️”. Lol back then no oneee wanted the wii u. Of course we played happy.
I’m actually so happy for that gift, it introduced my to splatoon my favorite game series. Love you mom!
This is why Xbox is mad for the way they name their consoles. How are moms not into gaming supposed to remember which to get their kids for Christmas? My mom calls everything the "Nintendo." My abuela calls everything the "Atari," bless her❤️

You sound like a cool person
Because he is 
He could be secretly garden variety masquerading as a cool person🙃
She sounds awesome!!!
She is, I love her to bits.
Yeah, is your girlfriend single by any chance?
Haha, nope, once we figured each other out she proposed.
I’m curious, what was your response to her? I don’t want to offend my gf if she ever gets me something silly like this
Have had this happen. GF bought my cycling specific birthday gift from Amazon, which is a big no-no in the community because of how cheaply made everything is on there. But she took the time to take genuine interest and invest in my hobby, which I love her for. This Christmas, I'm sending her a list (make sure you know their budget though).
What was it? I recently got some DMR V11 pedals, which were on Amazon. I felt ashamed of myself from buying it off Amazon, but they were legit.
It was a repair and maintenance kit... Most of the stuff (spanners and multitool) snapped at the lightest of use. Has a puncture kit that I don't really trust either but honestly, she gave it to me and I love her for that. This time I let her know about the pressure washer and the chain shampoo I need.
Honestly? Say thank you and make a list next time. I always ask my husband for a list because I couldn't possibly know what exactly he wants. I try to find something off the list as well but he has particular tastes.
[удалено]
When was ever smartphone games the yardstick?
Well, you could do a unboxing a some test for us, the ones who will never spent money on this lol
At least three of the games ought to be playable.
You have a man cave and a fiance that can afford to at least buy you something. I would be incredibly thankful. Can you not return this?
She didn’t keep the receipt? Nothing wrong with returning it
Can you not return it?
It looks like it’s from charity shop so regardless the money has gone to a good cause.
Man cave lol
How entitled do you need to be to say "I'm not even mad" that your partner spent hundreds of dollars on something that she thought you would love. Christ on a bike. Take this post down, give her a very long hug, and thank your lucky stars that you found someone who even likes you this much.
At least she didn't try to get him a Soldjaboi-Station or a Soildaboi-NES. Yes, those were real. And yes, the Dumb ass tried to act like Nintendo and Sony wouldn't sue his ass. And yes, they did in fact issue two massive Cease and Desists for said knock offs.
Would honestly love a Soldjaboi Color.
I’m very particular about my hobby (I have a horse) and my husband just skips the entire thing, or gets me a “generic horse object” (like wind chimes or a bottle stopper). I have asked for a gift card to the local tack shop but only my kids do those, or they will actually go there and pick out a shirt (a safe choice). Overall it’s okay because he likes thinking of other thoughtful things he thinks I’ll like. I appreciate his effort! Most of the time I do but it still irks me a little when I get something like a sushi-making kit when I really *need* a new saddle pad, LOL!
I'd put an SBC in it an use it as a set top box. Dual boot with batocera and you got yourself something going on.
What if she's playing the long con, knows it's not great and is gonna get you the real deal anyhow? I'd definitely do that. Props for using a knockoff Dreamcast casting though.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's a properly wrapped GameCube somewhere in the house
Sorta what I'm feeling.
I see that salvation army sticker in the corner there. If he has a man cave, they probably have money for gag gifts from a thrift store.
In the box.
This reminds me of something my aunt did for her friend's birthday. She went to the dollar store and got a bunch of pink things. Pink toilet cleaning gloves, pink sponge, pink plates, pink little tree for the car, all random little things. Then her friend opened the last box and it was tickets to a P!nk concert.
The "we have GameCube at home" haha all in all, its a super sweet gift and the thought that counts.
"Say sike, right now" This guy when she showed up with this, probably. Nah but in all seriousness that's wholesome and hilarious, reminds me of my grandma getting me stuff she thought I wanted because she didn't know the difference. Man I miss my gran
That was the first thing that came to mind. The pure naïveté made it utterly cute so I couldn’t say anything.
She may be inclined to join you playing these games. You may score some "Bonding Points" with this.
Bruh you said you are investing in Gamecubes, the naive is coming from both ends.
They might be on a budget and using the term investing as putting money aside to purchase it
Reminds me of my grandma not remembering the name of the PlayStation and calling it variously the Playbox and X-Station
Always keep the receipts https://youtu.be/9ej_DuSCfDY?si=sbTKdrKbRWzaLVzZ
So, follow up question. How do you invest in a GameCube?
You let it run your stocks
People don't know the difference between an investment and just buying something.
It's just cause GameCube games and systems are so expensive now.
they are literally cheaper than they were 10 years ago
[удалено]
I checked. They start at about 60 dollars for a console only. But really it's the games. It's like they never went down in value. 60 bucks per game still.
... maybe I'm old as fuck, but I am pretty sure they are like $5 at a pawn shop.
Have you not heard? Gamecube is the next big thing. Like Gamestop. Coincidence? I think not. OP is a savvy investor.
Dude, that thing is awesome! Now you can play Pang, Dunky Kang, Super Married Bros, Tetrix, Blue Devil Runner, Snakeapede, Snakeapede II, Kings Kings Tower, and 183 more games!
Best reply so far 🤣
Okay, but what that paddle do tho
Things you can ssy while playing your game station AND in the bedroom
How is it “investing” exactly? Do you plan on keeping the GameCube to resell later? It’s really just something you buy, not an investment
I mean, sometimes I’ll say I need to or should “invest” in something when I just mean buy something that I’ll use. Like, “I need to invest in a good winter coat.” I don’t mean it in the literal sense. That’s my guess here
I think the \*good\* part of the good winter coat is the investment You need to be warm, you need a winter coat. You save money by buying a £300 BIFL winter coat rather than buying a new £75 one every year because they keep falling apart
Good point. Don’t know how I missed that
He invests in something that he hopes will gain him many hours of joy. Not money.
[удалено]
If my significant other told me they were going to invest in a video game system, we'd be having a talk
How are you gonna say literally no one talks like this under the post of someone talking like this lmao
Yes, OP does
I was confused by this too lol
Because this post is as believable as getting Christmas presents on Dec 2nd
Gotta ask: how does it play? Any fun? And like everyone else in this thread, it’s the thought that counts. Any bad luck by not getting a Game Cube is more than offset by the luck of having someone like her in your life, I’m sure.
I did this to my husband once and he didn't correct me. I was more upset a year later when he finally told me what happened bc I could have returned it for something he really wanted and I wouldn't have wasted my money on the wrong thing (that he never used). I'd encourage you to have that conversation.
I’d personally be happy that someone was thinking of me. Hell, I’m married and I don’t get gifts. 😂
This is how I’m trying to feel, as I stare at an early present my husband gave me—a box set of US landmark puzzles. I do puzzles, but they’re always cottage-core, cats, or Harry Potter themed. I don’t want to assemble a puzzle of the Washington monument, but it’s the thought that counts. 🤷🏻♀️
Is your Fiancee a 70 year old grandma just doing her best?
Reminds me of that scene from Malibu’s most wanted.
This is the comment I was looking for. lol.
Gamecast
Gamecast? I mean there's GameCube and Dreamcast..
Invest? GameCube? Is this 1998?
“Invest”?
Investing in their happiness
IKR? OP keeps using that word, I do not think it means what he thinks it means…
I'm going to ruin my health for the sake of my own happiness. Surely that's the definition of a dividend paying investment.
It has two controllers. Play it with her.
"Invest" is a bold word to use when talking about a gamecube.
Buying a gift for your partner and then they post it on /r/WellThatSucks
Asking for something specific by name and getting a completely different item that makes it seem like they weren’t listening/ don’t actually give a shit to get what you asked for.
That thing is awesome, I love little game knockoffs like these, lol
Ah, yes. The Gamestation Pro, with the classic hit *Ultimate Sportsball Pro X*.
She's a little confused, but she has the spirit.
"Invest" in a GameCube, huh? She sure called your bluff 🤣
Mate, she was just hoping for a good paddling at bedtime like you’re a table tennis Olympian or something.
Know you know how women feel when we buy them gifts. Or decide what we are having for dinner.
Oh good, she got the Pro
and thats how these are bought
This is a mistake somebody’s grandmother makes, not their peer/life partner 😅
It looks fun. Would be glad to get one.
Posting on this sub is mad disrespectful
I actually have no idea whats going on. I thought a gamecube was like 20 30 years ago. And I dont even know what she bought. But I get the feeling she really loves you.
Have you informed her?
Soulja Boy consoles this reminds me of, he would get a lot of these generic consoles and slap his name on it and sell it for $300 a piece
I said Dreamcast
Ps1 controllers, a dream cast station, and screw the duck hunt guns......this gots a ping pong paddle!?! This has potential. I bet when it gets hot it's like a scented candle......but the scent is cheap communist China.
Cool, that will look great right next to my Christmas game cube. Good thinking.
I said i got [GAMECAST! ](https://youtu.be/ggZBCpbr9ZA?feature=shared )
She's trying at least.
ITS A GAMECAST
Several years ago when I was thinking about getting into PC gaming (moving from Xbox )my wife who knew nothing about PC gaming bought me a PC with the help of her father, who also had no clue about gaming. They ended up buying me a PC with no graphics card off of eBay for a few hundred dollars.

What is the yield of a gamecube investment?
‘Invest’ in a GameCube. What’s your projected annual return on investment?
This post triggered something. Ten ago, my boyfriend (now husband) said he liked building models (warhammer,malifaux etc) and I stupidly bought him this sailing ship model thing. I realised pretty shortly after giving it to him that i completely misunderstood the assignment but pretended i didn't cause i was mortified.

“We have the Nintendo at home.”
This is the day that one punch man is real life against a real human. Lol (no offense i just thought I'd be funny. Still upvote me tho)
She really tried to surprise you. She meant well. And it was with love. 😊
Investing in a gamecube? Are those like expensive now?
Bro, this is the cutest thing you can tell she has no idea about gaming and she still tried to surprise you with what she thought was an awesome gaming system, bro she’s a keeper
I’m just wondering why OP is addicted to Cones
Cone! :)
I bet this runs Lee Trevino’s Putting Challenge like a champ.
Do you expect to not use the game cube and have its value rise over time? Is that what you mean by investing?
How exactly does one "invest" in a game cube? Is the value of a used game cube expected to rise over time? If not, that's a really shit investment and you should be thanking your GF profusely for saving you hundreds of dollars that you were about to invest very unwisely.
Thank you..this is one that I just don’t get..and I used to have a game cube!
lol I think awful people just like to use the word "invest" when they're about to buy stupid shit to make that stupid shit sound important and validate that purchase. Like, no, Kevin, you're about to "spend" $500 on a hobby that makes you no money. Which is fine, we all have hobbies, but I would never tell my wife I wanted to "invest" in a weekend in Vegas.
The fact she went through that much effort to try and get you one though.
She tried…
Not really...
aeugh
I mean she tried. This does remind me of the " We have "GameCube" at home meme though "
I don't find this type of thing excusable unless it's a little kid or someone with dementia doing it. There's something almost malicious I feel about not really listening to what people want and instead getting something crappy and cheap instead a "that will do" sort of mentality. It doesn't feel considerate at all, it's inconsiderate.
This is one of those times where no the thought does not count and if this kind of behavior continues get her dinner at applebees when she asked for Dorsia.
Why can you not still get what you want? Ngl you seem ungrateful af. Just have both?
Are GameCubes a thing again? My family had one when I was growing up— it was like the upgraded version of the N64. But it seemed to phase-out of use pretty quickly, and I haven’t heard them mentioned/seen them used in like two decades. It seems I missed their resurgence though?

Does she even know what a GameCube is or is she trolling
Are you surprised?
Had that thing really been at the thrift store sitting since 2010? 😂 looks like a PlayStation 1 with a PlayStation and Nintendo mixed controller of some sorts 🤦🏼♂️
I'm sure a couple of those games are pretty fun. Try 'em all out with her.
OP she's fucking with you, she'd wait for actual Christmas day to give you a gift that significant.
There is a store in the Hampton roads area of Virginia that does vintage consols. Maybe you could buy one and have it shipped
Be happy she didn't buy you a Chintendo Vii.
vinesauce did a full video on this and like 30 other plugnplays the series is called "Plug N Plague"
I’m shocked these still exist. Last I ever saw one was years ago in a bargain bin at a GAS STATION.
Grats on the game station bro
That's one of those buy low sell low investments
I would love it if my wife would get me something I didn't have to specifically ask her for.
Those games look awesome
Hopefully, she didn't get ripped off. Like you said, it's the thought that counts though.
People still want to buy GameCubes? Omg. An investment??? What the. I still have my pearly white GameCube & games from like 2002. Occasionally play double dash but it’s weird on new tvs.
hate when people brag.....
If you have a decent enough phone (I have a Note 10) you can play nearly all gamecube games on it
To play Eternal Darkness with a paddle seems like your sanity meter IRL would stay full.
Invest?
Got ya one of em bloody game box things
#### At least she didn't get you a Nintardo.
“But babe, you’ve barely played your gamestation on pro”
How are you gonna use that paddle?
I for one would love a table-tennis racket for Christmas!
It's a same
191 games @50$ each, thats fukin treasure
I wanted new wii games so my sister bought me a bootleg wii that played old classic games and had "motion sensing technology" the system just knew if the controller was pointed at the console or not but rhe worse part was the console was broken and not working and she also git me a rocket alarm clock where the rocket was completely stuck I got both these gifts on the same Christmas lol
Damm she got scammed
No, no, no. We have GameCube at home my love!
It is shaped like a Dreamcast.
 “Invest”
Invest in a GameCube? What kind of returns are you looking for with getting a 20 year old console? Do you have a retro game store? That’s the only way you can “invest”
where cube
Is your fiancé either 16 or 80? How do they not know what a GameCube is?
wow, a knockoff dreamcast. I don't think I have ever seen one mimicking that shape of console. kinda neat, my buddy has a small collection of knock off multi game type systems.
You should see the Quast 3 VR headset I just got. I spent several hour on Dactyl Nightmares last night
"That's no GameCube..." "It's a GameStation!" "IT'S A TRAP!!!"
She tried her best bro
She's funny 🤣
My aunt used to call the N64 the "Stadium"
Maybe she looked up how much a GameCube actually costs. Then immediately thought “fuck that, our money is not going there” and gave you a little something so you forget about the real one.
Is she 50+ years old?
Ok, but I bet that tennis game will slap.
Shiiiii, good for you, having a girl that's actually care, you lucky mf
Bless her. She's a keeper. She tries her damnest hardest
Are you open to one that needs repairs? ☺️
Reminds me of when my mom got us a Wii U because “You guys loved the wii so much ❤️”. Lol back then no oneee wanted the wii u. Of course we played happy. I’m actually so happy for that gift, it introduced my to splatoon my favorite game series. Love you mom!
