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

[Pwnstarr]

You know you play too much KSP when: You want to be a Aerospace Engineer

lol, my first year in college as an aerospace engineering major cured me of this. Much respect for those who make the cut.

[RedPine]

You realize pointing this out will give me unending irritation throughout the rest of my KSP experience, right?

...I wonder if squad would be willing to fix the loading screen...

[Freshmeat]

You spend five times the amount you spend on the game on components for a control panel, and finally learn to use an Arduino board.

When you think the space bar is called the space bar because it is the key you push to go to space.

[Deadweasel]

When you think the space bar is called the space bar because it is the key you push to go to space.

Well... technically, you're not wrong.

[spaceman1999]

The Master hears the sound of drums, I hear never ending explosions!

[Bagg]

When you openly state that the Earth has two moons, the Moon and Minimus.

When you openly state that the Earth has two moons, the Moon and Minimus.

...and then proceed to apply an extra "i" where it isn't needed.

[Endersmens]

When my friends reaction to me mentioning KSP is *sigh* here we go again. Time to put my BS listening ears on!

[Duke23]

When I'm regularly having dreams about docking procedures and disastrous aerobraking maneuvers or ill conceived launches...

When my few friends who play think I'm an a-hole because of the things I report that I've accomplished, which are miniscule compared to the things I see fellow forum members doing...

[Tacotown99]

when you start carrying a mini notebook around to always be able to record a flight log. (i've filled 2 200 page note books already after 3 months) i may need some help...

You know you play too much KSP when you start recreating missions from real life, and they actually work, just to cure your boredom.

But perhaps it is when you begin to do hand-calculations for rocket Delta-V, TWR, and Mass.

[Felsmak]

This is not a proper "You know..." joke, but my decorative decoupler addiction is starting to reach new levels. Soon whole world is decouplers.

[Garek]

The moment when I read on this forum, and misread "Better than staging Manley" instead of "Better than starting manned". I don't even begin to understand that. Maybe I should sleep more.

[Taki117]

You know you play too much KSP When your physics professor writes the gravitational constant 9.8 on the board and you think "No it's not it's 9.82" and resist the urge to correct him.

[Felsmak]

When you look at a wall and think it looks like Dres.

[marshrover]

When I do something wrong and try to press F9.

When I'm running fast and wonder if I've got a high enough apoapis.

When I try to turn on symmetry when building a lego robot.

Offering to put a mainsail an my friends hand when he was arm wrestling.

[aman608]

-when you start using "Science homework" as a excuse to play KSP

-you tell your family to shut up so you can focus on your new interplanetary ship

-you twitch when you are watching the movie Gravity (because the orbital mechanics aren't right)

-you find yourself wishing you could have your consciousness put into a career mode KSP game

I may need some help

[Garek]

When you wacht a video about actual spacecraft, they mention stuff about communication devices and range, and you think: "Oh, so NASA has Remote Tech 2 installed".

[Red Iron Crown]

You look at your car and think of all the non-essential parts you could eliminate to pare down its mass.

[owmanthathurt]

When a co-worker/room mate asks what you are doing after work and you respond by saying I am going to coordinate a rescue mission for stranded kerbals orbiting the moon.

[Felsmak]

When the Swiss Guard makes you think of the LV-909.

[rtxoff]

When the Swiss Guard makes you think of the LV-909.

lol, that one made my day

[cantab]

-you twitch when you are watching the movie Gravity (because the orbital mechanics aren't right)

I actually watched Gravity recently, and found the iffy orbital mechanics less objectionable than the way Clooney was goofing around with the MMU at the start and the way Bullock spent most of the movie playing the damsel in distress.

Anyway, you know you play too much KSP when you wonder why Estes don't sell LV-T30's and Mainsails.
