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

When you here about a rocket failure your first thought is "Maybe more rockets and struts will fix that."

I thought we agreed that more SRBs is always the way to go?

[Doc Anderson]

This actually happened...

I am a professional magician. In addition to other shows I do, I also have a couple restaurants I work each week doing close up magic and balloons. A while back I pulled my balloon pump out of my bag. The pump looks like this:

... and I looked at it confused for a moment and thought, "Why do I have a large fuel tank in my bag?"

I may need professional help.

When you try to turn off your computer by pressing Esc then end flight.

[Malachai]

When you spend all your free time making a flag for a feature that hasn't been implimented yet, for a fictional corporation in a fictional universe?

[MatixCubix]

When you are in a car and you think, if I go fast enough I can get to orbital speed and get quickly to work by killing your speed in the exact point using retroburners and parachutes.

I really need a medical help

When you here about plans for missions for Mars and how the farthest we've gone is the Moon and its a great step forward and so on and so forth, and you think: "Why haven't we moved on to the real-life equivalent of Minmus?"

I have caught myself thinking this so many times, it's not even amusing anymore. :|

[DarthJazno]

When you not only do you watch Scott Manley you tube videos in spare moments, you also have watched them multiple times. Hullo!!

[Alephzorg]

When you are outside, you look up, see the moon, and wish you could switch to map view.

When dreaming at your sleep landings that go bad and you search in panic the F9 button with no success

[Felsmak]

When the flight of Voyager 2 reminds you of high school. You just fly past year after year towards the inevitable end of your childhood and the great unknown that lies beyond it.

This morning I woke up and instead of thinking "where did I put my jeans" I thought "where did I put my Rockomax X-16 tank?" and I was actually worried I wouldn't have enough fuel for the day. I need help.

[Mihara]

I need help.

...but to be more specific, you need help getting enough fuel.

....when, after refueling your car, you start wondering how much delta v that got you.

Actually happened to me a few days ago.

If you wonder what the ISP of your engine is?

If you wonder how much drag the parts have and whether you could go faster by getting an angle grinder out and removing some?

If you consider bolting on an extra car to get more thrust?

I`ve only done two of those...

[rodion_herrera]

I actually skipped work today because I spent all night trying to do SSTO Spaceplane

Other things:

- when I pass by places that sell LPG tanks I tend to say to myself "They didn't stack that right..."

- I sometimes find myself absentmindedly re-arranging Pringles cans in grocery stores.

- I keep hearing the KSP themes in my head, despite the fact that I'm listening to another song in my headphones.

When you right click on screenshots to rotate the camera.

I do this all the time and instantly tell myself "its a screenshot your not in game"

My wife also said she could hear the lounge/jazz music from the VAB the other night even though my laptop wasn't even turned on, I think it's got pretty bad when its affecting other peoples lives.

When you look up at a star, and think: "Look, Minmus is up."

When you look at a picture of Jupiter and think: "Why's it a wierd color?"

I'm actually going to do a presentation on space stuff in a bit, and I'm deathly afraid of refering to the Kerbal planets instead.

[Flixxbeatz]

Happened once before to me: I've pressed "M", supposedly to bring up the map while playing Minecraft.

- I keep hearing the KSP themes in my head, despite the fact that I'm listening to another song in my headphones.

This happens to me everytime I stop playing KSP. It is calling to me as we speak...

[Anglave]

You know you play too much KSP when you Start creating rockets in your dreams that actually work in KSP.

You are not alone.

[ammonia_ocean]

When your notebooks and binders are covered with drawings of rocket designs that you and your friends have showed each other.

When you play Mass Effect 2 and wonder "where are the deorbit burns"?

[Julexus Quandem]

When one of the children I teach piano to asked today if she could miss her lesson because they were "making rockets in class" my first thought was "ooo, they're playing KSP!"

These and when thunder sounds like a spent stage slamming into the ground

Or:

1. You refer to everything in Kerbal terms.

2. Make a coffee mug with Jool, the KSP logo and "Needs more struts" on it.

Not to mention when you mess around with the plot of the novel thing you're writing just so you can have a part in space.
