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

[Axelord FTW]

Recently have been having trouble getting to sleep because I keep building stuff while I'm in bed.

Help with the construction when I'm actually back playing the game the day after, having designed whole missions in my bedroom but I'm also more tired.

[Engineer of Stuff]

You know that you are obbsessed with KSP when you put the part configuration files up as decoration.

There's something wrong with me.

[Yukon0009]

When every time someone mention Armaddegon you instintively start telling them why it is inaccurate, which soon dwelves into a one-sided conversation about orbital mechanics.....

[A-Stax32]

I know i play too much KSP when I'm watching a youtube video on a craft or mod for KSP and try panning the view.

Why does my game keep stopping when i pan the view?

[Bill Phil]

When you look at Jupiter and say "Hey, it's Jool! But it's not green..."

Or when you look at a rocket engine in a museum and think how many crafts you could build with it...

[Pillow]

When you try a Hohmann Transfer on a carousel.

[soranetame]

When you spend hours making rockets off of the game using only ksp-wiki data, drawing the rocket, and then calculating the ÃŽâ€v, TWR and how quickly or could crush a kerbal.

or design a micro rover at 3.1 tons.

When you accidentally search KSP-specific queries on Wikipedia, or accidentally search general-purpose queries on the KSP wiki. (bonus if they are about real-life astronomy)

You know you play too much KSP when your girlfriend is trying her hardest to get you to play other video games instead. Seriously, she is surprised when I do play other games now. Also, you know you've played too much KSP when your girlfriend is quickly becoming an expert in rocket science.

[hellblazer]

Never too much.

[windows_x_seven]

Playing KSP too much? Pfft.

I just said "Duna" instead of "Mars" in a physics class.

[tommypops]

When Gravity, Interstellar, Armageddon, and all those space movies make you RAGE because of their crappy orbital mechanics.

and panning the view. I have a pretty reentry scene as my desktop background, and I always right-click and drag. ALWAYS.

When you park your shopping cart at the edge of the vegetable section at the grocery store and walk up and down the aisle to return the veggies to the cart, because you know that Apollo Style missions expend less fuel for the delta-v.

[Starhawk]

You know you play too much when you don't consider your computer booted until KSP is running.

[Red Iron Crown]

When you start things from your car, reducing the part count in hopes of better performance.

[Lhathron the Elf]

When you try strapping yourself to a trashcan [full-o-boom] and attaching goo canisters to the sides "for science".

[Wingman703]

When you stay up till 4:00am playing KSP... then have a dream involving KSP... do I need a doctor? No, I just need more KSP.

[Frank_G]

Where can i get goo canisters? Please!

[SPA]

that happens to me with alot of stuff in my dreams, so I could have seen the "its freeeeee" guy saying the phrase,and when I dream my brain goes ITS FREEEE ITS FREEEE

ITS FREEEE

ITS FREEEE

ITS FREEEE

ITS FREEEE

*the next day*

[Wabbit]

You say Jool instead of Jupiter in science.

You act like Nelemy and talk to any kind of goo. "Hey, goo-dudes!"

You see planes and think about making them.

When your friends tell you to shut up about physics and say your wrong cause you learned all physics from a game then they realise your right and they don't know anything.

[Commander Jebidiah]

This thought just went into my head why don't nasa wire up a keyboard with all controls then get someone who plays ksp less to fly there rockets using the computer to steer the rockets and use TDRS sats to display a real map veiw.

Sow I really play to muck ksp, I really need to get out more, oh wait I live in Scotland, it's cold and all my friends live at least 4km away

[Guz]

when posting that here:

[Felsmak]

You think of your farts as your own personal ion engine and dream of all the places you could visit if only you were an astronaut.

You let one rip, and someone says: "That's disgusting!". But you just stare them in the eye and answer: "What's so disgusting about my ion engine?".

Movie physics have always bothered me. If you know a little bit about aviation and orbital mechanics, you're basically hosed when it comes to movies.

As for the second part of your quote. Been there, done that more times than I care to admit.
