The "You know you're playing a lot of KSP when..." thread

[Red Iron Crown]

You get into your car and instead of twisting the key you think "T, Z, Space".

[quasarrgames]

When you stop looking at this thread because reading takes away valuable KSP time.

That is amazing.

When you wake up and play ksp for a few minu--- is that the moon?

EDIT: OR!

When you play KSP for a few minutes before be---- Is that the sun?

[NuclearNut]

When you look at a car and think.

"If you fit a pair of wings, a few tail fins at the end, a jet engine, and a NTR to it, you might just be able to get it to orbit.

WRONG! It's "Z, T, Space." Noob.

(Joking around, obviously.)

So... where are those bodies from?

I grabbed maps from Sido's Urania system as well as the Alternis mod (and I've imported some from Space Engine), but the red and green planets were just me dicking around with the Boulder Co atmosphere config files - adding clouds and changing colors (some new cloud textures were imported from Space Engine as well). I'll be revisiting this at a later date, but for now I just grabbed some really cool pics. I've been having problems with that modded install, with all the experimenting that I did so I need to work on getting it stable before I can think about sharing it out.

You know you play too much KSP when you come up with this.

OOOOO pretty! What game/program did you make it in?

ooh! I have one!

When your friends say "Wow! You look great! are you on a diet?"

And you reply "No, i... i guess i've been playing so much ksp that i, uh, forget to eat."

The KSP diet!?! LOL

When you have a small stack of textbooks so that when you mess with configs you get it right.

You know you play too much KSP when someone bugs you on Skype and you answer:

"Sry, I play fullscreen games a lot in my space time, so I end up missing Skype pings."

...er, I meant spare time.

I was watching the movie san andreas and at the scene with the huge tidal wave (those who have seen the movie will know this) when the protagonist's boat was overtaking all the other boats i was "This is stupid, how can one boat with two passengers overtake other boats that have four engines and one person. It doesn't have the proper TWR and i am not sure if it has the correct amount of dV. Then it hit me, "Of course it's the protagonist's boat, physics don't apply"

I drive by an equestrian facility every day and last night noticed the floodlights illuminating their entrance sign protruded on their posts about 8-inches out of the ground- and immediately wanted to grab the "offset" tool to reduce their drag... >.>

When I can delete my whole KSP folder, and re-install all of it including mods and tweaks, in under 30 minutes...

HOW long have you been playing again?!?

Hahahahaha totally did that too!

... you look at an early bright star and think this must be Minmus

[Othuyeg]

You try to pull up mechjeb for DeltaV stats in your car.

I was talking with a friend about the pressure inside a plane, which is about the pressure at 2'000 meters or so. Of course the first that came into my mind was "Well, 0.5 atmospheres is at about 3'000 meters, so 2'000 might be at ... oh wait .... wrong planet."

When you're sitting in a Physics exam working on gravitational equations and you find yourself visualising the questions as though in KSP to figure out how they'd look.

Its cheating if you just switch to one of your multiple, clean, legacy backups!

[windows_x_seven]

You know you play too much KSP when you attempt to correct your physics teacher when a certain problem he made uses an incredibly slow earth orbit measured in Km/h.

Measured in KM/H, jeezus.

"I could shave in half the time if RL had mirror symmetry mode."

nice one, one of the best so far

And I bet the designers read That and GRIN with delight. :] I know I am.
