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

[Naten]

You look at a plane and think "Where's the struts?"

EDIT: unless it actually has struts. In that case, you think "Needs more [struts].":sticktongue:

[Merinsan]

When watching a movie with a spaceship in it you start planning how to build a replica in KSP, in your head, that can also fly - even when you know the physics are impossible.

[Merinsan]

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

When you think the Apollo missions were not ambitious enough - they should have been going for Mars.

When I bought the game last month yet it has 786 hours already. (TRUE FACT)

[xzxvrx]

When your browser is running slow and by reflex, you press Alt + F12.

When a pencil sharpener isn't working and you think "I found a bug".

ah you know that steam reduces the play time by a "large" % right?

[Tank Buddy]

You know you play KSP too much when the only thing you say is "space".

[briansun1]

when you're driving and run out of gas and think I'll just hit space

[Argartu]

Forgetting that you're not currently in a vaccum while throwing stuff.

[Scorched Potato]

You know you've spent too much time in KSP realizing you never signed up in the forums

and your eyes start going sleepy every 2 seconds

I guess

When driving home this evening, just as it was getting twilight, I turned a corner and saw a single bright point in the sky. Ah, that must be Minmus I thought to myself and carried on driving. For rather longer than I care to admit I actually thought it was Minmus and didn't question it. I think what I saw was Venus, but my instant response is now a KSP based one. I often call our Moon Mun now too, and people look at me strangely (or at least more strangely than they did before).

[Odo]

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

"You know you play too much KSP when..." my wife can't enjoy her Star Trek episodes any more, because I keep kicking on their orbital mechanic flaws... Or for that matter, most sci-fi series or movies.

[Tank Buddy]

I know right? I can't stand watching films with unrealistic orbital mechanics! I liked Gravity, but the fact that the debris was traveling faster but managed to hit the space station twice bothers me. It would be in an eccentric orbit and would take longer that the ISS's 90 minute orbit to come around again.

[briansun1]

When I point out all the stuff wrong with ender's game...

[NoPanShabuShabu]

The other morning, my alarm clock was going off and in my head it was like this:

OK, the orbital intercept to 4:30 AM is looking alright, got a pretty good closest approach, in a second I'm going to start fine tuning and killing my relative velocity to 4:30 AM... OK, coming in to 4:30 AM at about .2 m/s, ...

Holy crap! What time is it?

these sum it up pretty good.

[Galileo Kerbonaut]

When my girlfriend tells me it's 5 Am and I've been playing all night. KSP is a real time sink for me, maybe a bit too much.

[MGUARN]

I know when I play KSP is when I draw rocket designs during chemistry class after I'm done with everything.

[kookoo_gr]

When watching Gravity and think : "Come on they can totally survive reentry and land on their helmets" and "Why don't they mount a rescue like Nassault's, Bill cinematic"

[User Unrelated]

You know you play to much KSP when you see the Moon rising above earth and think: "I could totally go there with a rocket and land on the surface" (I thought that only yesterday XD)

I had this EXACT thought earlier this afternoon when I looked out my window.
