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

[vetrox]

I was out the other night trying to take pictures of jupiter but for some reason i couldnt spot jupiter (i dont normally have a problem as its pretty obvious) I think it took a good 10-15 minutes before i realised that jupiter was indeed sitting there in the sky but i had ignored it thinking it was minmus. I'm such a tool.

I also know i play KSP too much as its close to over taking my dota 2 in terms of hours played. dota 2 is sitting at 508...ksp isnt far behind.

[Andrew Hansen]

You know that you're playing too much KSP when the time you've spent in forums is now exponentially greater than the time you've spent playing the game.

Haha I agree. Nicely said.

[jduchock]

When you right click on screenshots to rotate the camera.

Thank god...i thought i was the only one doing that...

[briansun1]

when you can explain orbital dynamics(or whatever they are called know) to you physics teacher and have then stare at you like you's not speaking english.

[Danish_Savage]

I spend so much time looking trough the subreddit and the forum that i hardly have time to play.

[OggBert]

When you see heavy equipment or architectural details that remind you of Kerbal parts.

[kalor]

I don't think this has anything to do with KSP. Just all of our inherent obsession over space.

True. Though my obsession didnt start until Orbiter and model rocketry and I met And now... KERBALS!

When you see heavy equipment or architectural details that remind you of Kerbal parts.

Every time I look at the new WTC tower I see the spire on top and think "needs more struts".

[MalfunctionM1Ke]

You know you play too much KSP when...

... When I find myself at work crawling through the KSP-Forum and watching Spootyman playing on Twitch.

[TUFOM]

You know you play too much KSP when you Start creating rockets in your dreams that actually work in KSP.

At least one rocket design & one plane design came to me in dream. And they worked like a charm. I also keep saying jool if ment to say jupiter. Al the signs are here, addicted!

Designs here, nothing too impressive but working and fact is I designed them on dream and first thing in morning builded them.

when you have to correct your AP physics teacher... as a sophomore!

[NASAFanboy]

When you can nolonger tolerate unkind words about NASA in your presence, or anything against space exploration.

When you demand that everything you write be 100% realistic if in space.

[Tassyr]

When you briefly say, "I should hit F5 before trying to parallel park" to yourself before realizing you're in real life.

Yea, that looks like the kinda rocket a dream would design

[Hallofo]

A few I've personally seen/done/experienced:

- The "trying to click-drag a screenshot" issue

- Saying to myself "apply more retrograde Delta-V" instead of "brakes" while driving.

- Converting my driving speed to m/s

- Figuring how much delta-V to apply to my car to prevent "port-free docking" with other cars on the road.

- Doing my best to spread the KSP "infection" at work...

- Trying to explain to my 2-year old that his lego rocket needs more fuel and struts.

- After my first career-mode Minimus landing I was quite pleased... "Yeah, baby FIRST TIME'S A CHARM". My wife asked what has up and I told her my first attempt had been a perfect landing. Her reply: "Oh, must not be very real then" (with a twinkle in her eye).

- Explaining orbital terms to my otherwise extremely intelligent friends and watching their eyes glaze over.

When you mix up Pottasium and Kethane, and only know the Greek and Roman gods because of the planets named after them.

[Herbert McCheese-Wang]

When you see y=ax^2+bx+c graphs and can only see ascent profiles.

[El_Kikko]

You think to yourself: "I could probably have piloted one of the Apollo missions"

[Tassyr]

You think to yourself: "I could probably have piloted one of the Apollo missions"

I admit it. KSP has made me think this. XD

[briansun1]

When you think that NASA should hire Jeb.

[goldenpeach]

When you take each day as a mission,the watch you wear show the MET of the mission.

EDIT: Also,when you dream your boss play KSP,show you his mun lander during work time,you know you *might* play too much.

[rholtsla98]

When you walk outside at sunset and think your gamma settings are to high

[Vegesus44]

When your dreams are things(anything) decoupling safely and obtaining stable orbit mechanics.

I swear this morning I was trying to orbit my family so the were safe and then decouple the used fuel tanks.....

[Deadpangod3]

When you see a squid,

Then you promptly proceed to scream and run away.

Then after you calm down scream KRAKEN!!!!!! And proceed to launch an imaginary SRB at it

[Urb4n0ninj4]

When you play almost 200 hours worth in 5 months of owning the game x.x
