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

[Spartan125]

You attempt to deploy parachutes when you stop running.

[celem]

You forget the real planet/moon names and start using the Kerbal ones in front of non-KSP players

Hehe, I've done that one too. Was discussing MarsOne with a mate in a heated debate, when he suddenly interrupts with 'Whats Duna?'. Derp. On the upside, the explanation for this slip led to him becoming a KSP player, so win-win.

Everytime Im driving around a roundabout I mutter 'slingshot' under my breath. My missus is getting worried.

When your mind starts to form the question "How to decouple the girlfriend's clothing ..."

Sorry, but if you still have a girlfriend/boyfriend, you are clearly not playing KSP enough.

[plainawesome]

When your save file has 200+ ships and only less than an eighth of them made it off the frickin launchpad/runway.

[quasarrgames]

When you watch the movie Gravity and think "pfft! I've done worse in KSP"

[StrandedonEarth]

When you look at part of a disassembled machine at work and wonder what part of a rocket it would be. RTG? Jet engine? core with radial decouplers/hardpoints?

[Superfluous J]

When you're doing a crossword puzzle and you can't figure out why the 4-letter answer to the clue "____ Normal" is not "anti."

[Duke23]

When the SRS light comes on in your car and for a split second you think "that means I can let go of the wheel now right?"

[Roastduck]

When you watch the pilot episode of Farscape, and scoff at the show's "theory" that you can harness a planet's gravity to accelerate into space.

Oh, you mean burning at periapsis to take advantage of the Oberth effect?

[Nahim]

Man, im LMAO here with this thread!!! Pretty fun!

And, some times i go to bed after spend hours designing a rocket that fail Catastroficly, just to wake up next day with the remains of a dream that answers what are the failings in my design and how i could fix it.

AND it actually works in game.

This is Play so much for you guys?

[Nahim]

When you are only 14, and seriously worry that the last thing you will say on your deathbed is "I wish I hadn't wasted my whole life playing KSP *sigh*"

Well, it's fun anyhow!

Mine would be "I wish i could play a little moar".

[ThatKerbal]

Mines kinda a funny one not really happened.

But.

When i saw a plane crash on a video, I said...Should've added more struts.

[Alchemist]

I once looked at a bright object in the sky and thought: "Too bright for a star, must be Jool... wait, what?"

[StrandedonEarth]

Nah, that's not Jool, it's Eve.

[Herbert McCheese-Wang]

You try pressing F5 to save in other games

[Herbert McCheese-Wang]

At every opportunity you try and put the words Apoapsis and Periapsis into your Physics Exams answers

[Dirty Bob]

When you right click and drag on photos to try and rotate them.

[O Nerd]

When you start seeing things like the KOS (Kinectic Orbital Strike) in other games and start yelling: STOP BURNING DOWN! YOU WILL LOSE ENERGY!!

[Silverchain]

You name a ship "IF orbit THEN Eeloo".

[Katojana]

when most of my ships become missiles

[Depth]

When movies in space become unwatchable.

This is actually very sad. Many scenes in Battlestar Galactica that I used to think were fantastic now ruin immersion.

[Ranger]

I was backing one of my parents cars into a parking spot, and they have one of those back-up cameras. I could not help but thinking about docking....

[Peter KG6LSE]

When you change your Halloween costume plans from sonic the hedgehog to Jeb.

I must find my green makeup !

I knew the Old Heat suit might come in handy !

[Z-Man]

When your 2 1/2 year old grabs random objects, moves them about, makes rocket engine noises with her mouth and declares them rocket-things. And demands you build rockets in Lego.

She hasn't demanded moar boosters on her buggy yet, so still in the green.
