Dr Farnsworth Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I can't stop! 500 hours on the game now according to Steam (not all at one sitting). My eyes are tired, it's time to go to sleep. Actually it was time to go to sleep three hours ago. But I have to finish my landing on Duna...Maybe there should be a support group for KSP addiction.btw, new to the forums, hello everyone.

basic.syntax Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Welcome! To be annoyingly literal... if you can bring yourself to do it, you can stop in more than one way: the menu-driven way is safest and more polite... but when I'm sure my game state is safe, I like [alt]-[enter] to switch to window mode, then click the big red X in the upper right corner. No fuss, no guilt-inducing "are you sure?" prompts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikki Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Hello Dr FarnsworthSteam says: "1637 hours". I usually exit the game via "Space center", then "Quit the Game", or in the VAB/SPH by pressing the red button, as mentioned above...Sometimes i fall asleep. Mostly i wake up and decide to quit. Really easy.Since i discovered KSP i cant play anything else anymore.I consider me as KSP addicted.Where can i get some help? Fortunatly i have some interesting RL work where i can get some distance to SQUADs evil invention... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GehringGame Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Dr Farnsworth, the first time I played KSP I stayed up until 5 am trying to build a Mun rocket. Now I force myself to break my missions down into smaller segments. Otherwise I can spend a whole night doing an interplanetary mission start to finish. You're not the only one with this addiction!

Black Dog Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Thank god for someone finally adressing the problem. I have a Steam library with hundreds of games, but since i started KSP they all seem shallow and boring. I just cant stop playing KSP because i lack motivation for anything else. I bet this is a devilish plan, set in motion by Squad to ruin the lives of those unfortunate enough to get a taste of this electronic equivalent of coke they call Kerbal Space Program...

HoloYolo Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 If your addiction is that bad, a gun and a bullet (JK screw suicide jokes)I packed 100 hours in 2 weeks just trying to get to the Mun and other planets (really fun times). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amorymeltzer Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I got married. That helped a lot.Not sure if I recommend it, though, it's a pretty expensive alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank_G Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I launch up my PS4, play a round of Witcher III, GTA V or connect the G27 for a round or two in Project C.A.R.S.... or i log on for a nice little dogfight in Elite: Dangerous... or read a book, go out with friends, watch a movie, do some digital painting... whatever. I just returned from a 3 months pause from KSP. It isnt that hard, really... it would be much harder, not to come back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11of10 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 So there you have it. You DON'T stop playing KSP. You can pause, you can try to keep yourself off, but sooner or later, you come back.It's just THAT good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi1960 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I got married. That helped a lot.Not sure if I recommend it, though, it's a pretty expensive alternative.Me too.... LOL.... it must be the ONLY cure for KSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Farnsworth Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 I hope you know that I was joking about not knowing how to turn off the game. It is although amazingly addictive and there probably should be a 12 step program for weaning yourself off of KSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 It can not be stopped. You can quit the game , but sooner you can start again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goddess Bhavani Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I got married. That helped a lot.Not sure if I recommend it, though, it's a pretty expensive alternative.That doesn't work, the significant other gets addicted too. And then the children. And the relatives. And the in-laws. All talking about dV and TWR and murdering Kerbals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfluous J Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Burn out on it. Usually it takes a year or three, but you can burn out on the game.And then you'll stop just naturally....for about a month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001kraft Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 there probably should be a 12 step program for weaning yourself off of KSP.CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.*explosion sounds*Step 1: Realize that the completed mission is completed.Step 2: Make sure to not check your tracking station to see if you have something unfinished.Step 3: If you do decide to check the tracking station to see if you have something unfinished, make sure to not stay there for longer than twenty seconds.Step 4: If you do decide to check the tracking station to see if you have something unfinished and stay there for longer than twenty seconds, quit the game.Step 5: If you didn't follow step 4, R.I.P. in pieces nvr frgt ????-2015.Step 6: If you followed step 2, quit the game.Step 7: After quitting the game wrap your hands with tape and walk yourself into an enclosed room.Step 8: Stay in enclosed room for ten minutes doing absolutely nothing, personally I recommend a handy Apple Watch.*Step 9: After ten minutes elapse, get out of the enclosed room, untape your hands, and avoid your computer at all cost.Step 10: Go to bed, do something without touching the computer, etc.Step 11: After two to ten hours elapse, get back to your computer and open up KSP.Step 12: After four hours of play time, repeat steps 1 through 11.*Apple totally sponsored this post.Hope that helped, make sure to leave a like, comment, subscribe, and as always, thanks for watching.

Columbia Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Once KSP 1.1 comes out, don't update KSP. At all.Sooner or later you'll start feeling bummed of having an old version.Well, worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zekes Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Only when it's 3AM and I don't have the mental strength to stay awake.Like, no joke, i've tried to quit several times. It's just a part of me now. I've probably 3500 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
