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

[Awesomegamegeek12]

I once ran down my stairs and though "I'm now lowering my apoapsis."

After that I thought "Wow... thanks brain."

[Agent30632]

You know when you think about what life would be like if real life is KSP

EDIT: What a way to waste my 100th post.

When you want to press alt+. when something is moving slowly.

[7dmtuk87]

When you are playing a different game and you go to hit SAS so you don't need to keep adjusting your view and in-game person.

When you see the 21 fart gun salute scene in Despicable Me 2 and you must suppress the urge to go back to the VAB to add more boosters

[Whirligig Girl]

.... when you watch a KSP YouTube vid and try to zoom in when the video shows the map view and get annoyed when it doesn't move the way you want it to.

This is something that shows up on every "You know you've played too much [Game] When..." post on any forum. It's NOT KSP SPECIFIC.

I more than once tried to right click screenshots to rotate the view.

You have sudden urge to play KSP when you are shopping or camping without a computer with you.

You know you've played KSP too much when you have to DELIBERATELY put in something that you think will make your rocket explode, you activate the PURPOSEFUL failure, and you still complete the mission you wanted to fail. All because you miss all the explosions you used to see all the time. Yet you are simply too good at the game to fail at almost any mission.

I wonder if anyone else feels this way, or am I all alone on NX GG 1667 (reference).

You know you play too much KSP when, on your umpteenth mission to Jool you find yourself complaining that 100000x time acceleration is just not fast enough.

[Bannon]

...while handling chemicals in the lab or givens in a problem set that are labeled 'oxiding agents' and I think to myself "I'll need some liquid fuel to go with that."

[MattJL]

...you are designing a manned lunar program (long story) and a sustainable Münar program. Then you get the two of them mixed up and get frustrated when you realize that fuel transfer IRL just isn't that easy.

...you feel guilty about putting your Kerbals in harm's way and go out of your way to ensure their safety.

...you have a favorite track from the music (the one with the whale sounds).

[WhiteThane]

When you start digging up declassified documents on experimental aircraft

[jgjiscool]

You know you play too much KSP when you consider applying to NASA saying you have "advanced space exploration experience."

[Itsdavyjones]

You know you play to much when your trying to calculate the delta V of fireworks at the Canada day (fourth of July for Canadians) and then realizing that Jeb is controlling the fireworks.

[talonmadc]

when you look up and cant identify a large star, then you think "minmus", then laugh at yourself

[AustralianFries]

I have over 200 hours in KSP on steam alone...

I transferred my save file from .18 over to steam less than two weeks ago. Enough said.

When you see

and the first thing you've said on your mind was "This looks like something straight out of Kerbal Space Program..."

Correction. When you think, "that happened to me once, let me go find the screenshots."

[msyblade]

dude, that (the russian crash) happens the first 3 or 4 times i test every launcher/lander i have ever conceived . The only problem is that was apparently their first or second launch. Let him go back to the VAB and add some headlights. . .THEN it will work perfect!

When you see a box of herbal tea and mis-read it as "Kerbal Tea"

[Galacticruler]

When you see a box of herbal tea and mis-read it as "Kerbal Tea"

So many times....

When you hear debris crashing into the ground at 1500m/s instead of a firework exploding.

AND.

When you see rockets in movies and start trying to tell them they are thrusting the wrong way.

"Kerbal Tea. Fermented from the purest LiquidFuel and Oxidizers. Now with Monopropellant flavor!"

You know you play too much KSP when you've built a colony on Laythe and ran out of things to add.

[KWilkiePJ]

when you hear the VAB music playing in your head over and over....
