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

[virchau]

When you're in class and try to hit the timewarp keys.

When going away for the weekend feels like a chore.

... After a night of drinking, you refer to getting through the spin cycle (or calling Ralph on the porcelain telephone) as "Passing through Max-BAC"

You refer to potty-training a toddler as "Passing though Max-Poo"

When I call my dog "Kirby" Kerbin or Kerbal... Especially when more than once.

When HarvesteR moving off to pastures new makes you sad...

[The Thyroid Man]

When you're reading a sci-fi novel and you yell at the book: AH! NO! You don't lower your orbit by pointing the rocket at the planet! You decelerate and then decelerate more at the periapsis!

This happened to me like 10 minutes ago

[cubinator]

When you imagine a Clamp-O-Tron™ Docking Port at the back of every parking spot.

[BebopRebop]

I sometimes refer to going outside as an EVA.

[virchau]

When you get bad grades at maths and your parents force you to uninstall KER and MechJeb and instead do it by hand.

This happened to me once

[Alchemist]

When it totally feels like it was 2-3 years not almost 5. Time dilation at its finest.

[FirstSecondThird]

When you call fruit slicing "Decoupling of Stages".

Huh, really need to start playing KSP in moderation a bit more, I think I'm seeing myself turn green.

Last week I was pruning tomato plants (which inevitably turns your fingers green) and exclaimed, "I'm turning into a kerbal!" My coworkers didn't get the joke.

[AviosAdku]

Well, I've seen the old Mixing up KSP planets with real ones, not so much myself but someone I knew got that way a while ago.

That one would probably be one of the most common KSP overdose symptoms based off what I have read.

When finally getting around to cleaning your backup KSP folder you discover KSP back to ver .24 saved just in case. Also your saved mod folder when tidied up goes back to 2013 and nets you a few GB freed up.

[Fluburtur]

When you have no problem converting speeds into meters per second.

That actually helps

How does the ISS not lag?

Well, at least they still let you play rather than uninstall KSP completely.  Thats actually a good idea, very forward thinking parents you have there, being able to see beyond the fact it's a 'game' and understand the educational benefits.  If only KSP was around when my kids were still kids, instead they guided me towards KSP.

When you get excited when you see a lamp making a conic section on the wall/ceiling/floor.

[KerbalKyle45kk]

Sometimes, i quietly say Outta Space! also, i'm alsoaddicted to Bdarmory. I made a Cluster Bomb.

[virchau]

When you start to try to intentionally crash the game.

(Now crashed roughly 112,819,235,314 times. See what I did with the number there?)

[Spaceception]

When you can throw together a rocket, eyeball it, and it nearly works, or works perfectly first time.

When your wife comes in the room, looks at the screen and knows how long it's going to take for you to finish land so she can make dinner.

When you do the math instead of aborting the mission over a forgotten KER part.

I suggest "MechJeb and Engineer for all" mod

[Kerbinchaser]

When everytime I see a plane overhead, I imagine how I could make it in KSP,

and when I call the Moon the Mun. Like... all the time.
