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

[HvP]

When I read "NASCAR" and think it's a space project.

The "National Aeronautics and Space Car Auto Racing" circuit definitely needs to be a real thing.

[SpacedCowboy]

When your wife yells at you from the other room, "Are you still doin' that damn kerbal thing?!"

[Dman979]

When you name your kids Jebediah, Bill, Bob, and Valentina.

[waterlubber]

When people refer to you as "that ksp kid"

[The_Rocketeer]

When you look at the moon and think 'been there*' or 'it can be done'.

*N/A to Apollo veterans

[Wingman703]

When you refer to yawning as "opening frontal intakes!"

[p1t1o]

When you name your kids Jebediah, Bill, Bob, and Valentina.

Is this serious lol!

At least you didn't go with Kenfal, Hadcan, Bobak and Fenfel!

But why not go for some of the less well sung heroes? Wernher, Gene, Mortimer and Linus!

[The Aziz]

When you see ice cream called "Diuna" and you read Duna.

Yeah, like a minute ago.

[CaelumEtAstra]

When you're watching a KSP stream and you press ">" to make it go faster.

[Geher]

When you read LEO and think it means Low Eve Orbit instead of Low Earth Orbit.

[The_Rocketeer]

When you've owned KSP for a week.

Oh that's not even funny. I've found myself doing that during a Scott Manley vid where he's in the VAB and talking for a bit and I wanted have a closer look at his ship; "why is this context menu popping up when I try to pan around? Oh, youtube..."

I swear, the spinner cone from that propeller looks so much like the Small Nosecone..

[Kurbis]

when reading real life space news and you presume that KSC is the kerbal space center not the kennedy space center

[LordCorwin]

When you've played more than 1000 hours!

[Snikersnee]

You know you play too much ksp when you get frustrated when other people don't fully understand orbital mechanics.

[Torgo]

When your Kerbal sized 4 year old son does something crazy and stupid, instead of yelling at him, you call him Jebediah.

[Crown]

When you name your kids Jebediah, Bill, Bob, and Valentina.

I'm damn sure that will happen. Someone will name their kinds by Kerbals.

[Superfluous J]

I'm damn sure that will happen. Someone will name their kinds by Kerbals.

Dudbert! Get in this house right now and apologize to your sister Nilfret!

[Mister Dilsby]

I'm damn sure that will happen. Someone will name their kinds by Kerbals.

I wanted to name our new gerbil Jeb, but the kids decided he wasn't enough of a badS to deserve it.

[Seaview123]

When you right click on screenshots to rotate the camera.

Yep... me too...!

[Dman979]

When the first humans on Mars were inspired to become astronauts by KSP.

[dudefinal]

Wow I thought it was only me...

[Columbia]

When you regard this:

And start imagining the flight log being full of:

(Based on Pan Am Flight 103)

"[19:22:04] Bay Door was damaged by explosion from Bomb."

"[19:22:04] Bay Door was damaged by explosion from Bomb."

"[19:22:04] Bay Door was damaged by explosion from Bomb."

"[19:22:05] Bay Door exploded due to overheating."

"[19:22:06] Structural Failure between Bay Door and B747-100 Airframe."

"[19:22:07] Structural Failure between Bay Door and B747-100 Airframe."

"[19:22:08] Structural Failure between Bay Door and B747-100 Airframe."

"[19:22:09] Structural Failure between B747-100 Upper Deck Skin and B747-100 Airframe."

"[19:22:10] Structural Failure between B747-100 Upper Deck Skin and B747-100 Airframe."

"[19:22:11] Structural Failure between B747-100 Upper Deck Skin and B747-100 Airframe."

"[19:22:10] Structural Failure between B747-100 Nose and B747-100 Mid-Section."

"[19:22:12] B747-100 Nose collided into Pratt & Whitney JT9D Jet Engine."

"[19:24:00] Wing Section collided into Sherwood Crescent."

(That took me a LOT of research )

When you ask your Physics teacher if you can bring your computer to the class and use KSP to demonstrate orbital mechanics in his next class.
