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

[Jas1126]

I was watching a movie a few weeks ago and noticed that the ship had landed automatically (when the pilot activated autopilot). I immediately thought of MechJeb.

It is the Call to do something together before big challenge for human kind.

[Kerbrud]

When your engineer friend starts ignoring your calls during the week.

I'm an engineer, I wish my friends would call me in the week asking about stuff in KSP=P None of my friends play it.. I may have the wrong friends.

When you start seriosly claiming your ability to pilot a Soyuz through launch and docking with the ISS! hehehe..

Also, when your girlfriend interupts something your're about to say with "is this about KSP?"

[luizopiloto]

you know you play too much ksp... when you see kerbals on your dreams...

[Kerbrud]

...When you notice that the loading screen planets are screwed up. the outside planet orbits faster than the middle planet...

Also, their "trails" move ahead of their orbit...

[Alephzorg]

When you can't fall asleep even though you're in your bed because you keep designing ships and planning missions in your head.

[Red Iron Crown]

When you see a tractor trailer and think of the trailer as the booster and the truck itself as the payload.

[Kerbrud]

You know you play KSP too much when you say Apoapsis and Periapsis instead of Apogee and Perigee.

Well, techically, the Apogee and Perigee is an Apoapsis and Periapsis respectively. The "-gee"-suffix is just to specifically set these points to Earth. For instance, the Perigee on Jupiter is called the Perijove. On Kerbin, it could be Perikee.

Yes. These terms I learnt from playing KSP. I am thankful for that!=D

Oh, you silly thing!

OBVIOUSLY the trailer is the payload, and the tractor is the booster. It just happens to be a very high-ISP airbreathing booster, thus allowing a very generous Payload Fraction.

[TheScareCake!]

When you have to say not "how many mods do you have?", but "how much?"

[Red Iron Crown]

When you tell someone the way they think of a tractor trailer as a rocket is the wrong way to think of a tractor trailer as a rocket.

[shynung]

When you can't fall asleep even though you're in your bed because you keep designing ships and planning missions in your head.

...And finding out that those mission happened to perfectly plausible, proved by successfully doing said mission the next night.

[Magnet_man16]

...You're building impossible design that you know wont work.

[Joshiewowa]

You know you play too much KSP when you lie awake in your bed at night designing rockets, then mentally/actually shaking your head and starting again. Over and over.

True story.

[Pecan]

Enough said

[djrodw]

516 hours on steam.... NUF SED

[SelectHalfling0]

When you are on that rocket in your dreams that you built to go to the mun, you go to the mun, you somehow know kerbal-speak and talk with Jeb (your pilot) and then you wake up as the ships parachutes dont open.

[Duna]

You know you play KSP too much when you have multiple colonies on Duna each capable of housing 18 Kerbals

[NGTOne]

When you look at a picture of the Burj Khalifa or Kingdom Tower and it inspires you to build a large-scale replica as part of your colony plans.

[Pwnstarr]

When you're watching the news and you have no idea what this ARM processor they're talking about is, but it's something from KSP.

[goldenpeach]

I was watching a video on youtube about the soyuz's launch, Soyuz undocking, reentry and landing(

). In that video, they said that the ISS could rotate to facilitate the docking(and undocking).

The first thing I thought was "don't they have wobbling problems?"

Also, I was watching the ISS earth viewing experiment on a livestream; I was waiting for the moment where the ISS would pass from the bright side to the dark side of the earth. I thought several time that I should time warp to that moment.

I try to timewarp all the time while I'm sitting in the train ... or when I leave the house and I forgot to bring something, I'm like "F9" ... and it does nothing

To be honest, I'm kind of worried that I'm thinking like this. One of these days I'm going to end up trying to cross a busy street and in my mind its not dangerous because "I can just reload my quicksave!"

To be perfectly candid, if it's true, it is dangerous, because it demonstrates a disconnection from reality.

[Pwnstarr]

Tetris effect. You'll be fine.

Stop using quick save
