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

[Chel]

I can recite EVERY SINGLE piece of music in the game, simply by memory. It works well in boring school assemblies every Tuesday

[Curveball Anders]

 

After years of KSP (end EvE) I always fall for the reflex to use my mouse to pan/zoom when watching NasaTV or similar ...

When you're on a road trip, and for 5 seconds you wonder if Mommy turned on SAS.

When you forget how far away the Moon is from Earth.

(Also when you really want to "correct that spelling")

Wow. I can recite the KSP theme, Frozen Star (one of the space music pieces) and the Credits.

Oh and Sneaky Adventure and all construction area music.

and the research facilities (science archives, MC, and AC ambiance.)

[Starslinger999]

You know you have been playing KSP too long when you have one of these:

[TeslaPenguin1]

I can play the main theme (by ear!) on the clarinet and on the piano. I also can recount the number of mods I have (145) from memory.

[adsii1970]

You try to play other games and catch yourself hitting <F5> when you know things are about to get tricky...

[HansonKerman]

When you wonder if Moon is on rails or not.

When you think Star Wars is good, but horrible for 4 reasons.

1.  It has violence. Kerbals are peaceful - wait, what?
2. Kerbals live underground! - wait, back up.
3. Traveling that fast is impossible. - HOLD EVERYTHING!!
4. And finally, you have to have fuel to do anything up there!- ALRIGHT,

You know you've played to much KSP when you try to correct "Moon" to "Mun"

Or you know it's not Mun, it is/was known as the Mün... back in .22

It's this or Minecraft, and I'm all out of bubblegum...

I legit was just doing a science project for school, and I typed "age of the mun" into the search bar. When nothing came up I was confused...  

[Jacke]

When you see "2001: A Space Odyssey" on the IMAX screen for your birthday.  And then again a few days later.  And that you have to get back to playing KSP.  Again.

When Steam says you've played 562 hours of KSP.   And soon after starting playing KSP years ago, you switched to copying the install to another directory and launching the KSP program directly.  Which isn't recorded by Steam.

*Ahem* Where's Kerbal Engineer???

When you use all 3 engineering mods.  Because you like KER in the VAB, VOID for its heads-up displays, and MechJeb in flight (but also sometimes in the VAB) because of its very flexible and multiple info windows.

And you have sympathy for @HarvesteR.  Because whatever he did or didn't do, Kerbals were his baby.  And he's not been on the forums since May, 2016.

It's come to the point where I accidentally say KSP's counterparts instead of our planet's actual name.

*Searching Wikipedia*

Let me search... Duna, UH I mean Mars rovers...

Me too...

Jupiter? What is this "Jupiter"?

I almost (almost) legit said that when my family was talking about Juno.

 

When you see the inside of the JPL Mission Control and think Wait, that looks weird... And then realize that's not the loading screen

[Skywalket]

When 90% of your hours logged on Steam are from KSP

When you have taken the time to put 'Kerbalizing' into your schedule

When you (at precisely 3 pm) start looking for new & interesting mods on the forum

When you anxiously await HansonKerman's next Fanfic update

When you see “Baikonur Cosmodrome” and correct it to “Baikourbanur Kosmodrome”

[Ithirahad]

When you instinctively start mentally reaching for the time-warp button in your dreams... and then in real life. This actually happened to me a while ago. It worked in the dream. Tragically, not IRL.

There's a real KSP song possible in an adaption of "One Day More".

SOMEONE MAKE THIS

[Jimmidii]

Every time I see on the news about anything we are doing in space, my mind immediately drifts to recreating it in KSP, and then, for the real mission, the manoeuvres that have happened, and the manoeuvres that it'll be doing next.
