Well, it finally happened...

[Racescort666]

I got busted by my IT department for having games on my work laptop. It wasn’t KSP, although KSP was definitely the first game I put on and the reason I started gaming on my work computer. I went for about 4 years of really solid KSP play throughs. Starting around the time we started issuing CAD laptops to the engineers to run SolidWorks, CATIA, and NX. I ultimately got busted for World of Warships which I forgot to log out of and it ran an update which got flagged by IT. 

I don’t think I’m actually in trouble, my manager had known about this basically since the beginning. I never played at work anyway so I doubt this is any kind of fireable offense. Plus I told him about it as soon as I got the email from IT and he just said “thanks for the heads up”.

So here we are, no more KSP on the work computer and I’ve gotta buy a gaming laptop. Actually, as of this writing, I’ve already ordered one: Dell G3 17” and I’m pumped for it to show up.

Wait, are you saying we're not supposed to have games on our work computers?

jk, I actually don't have any installed, but then again, I do get paid to play with model trains at work, so it's not all that bad.

I have KSP installed on my work computer.  I've played it a few times during lunch, but my work computer plays KSP so horrendously bad I don't bother anymore.  I'm talking yellow clock most of the time in pure vanilla with the textures turned all the way down.

We need a mod which allows to open the software windows right in the cabin, on the MFD.

Then we can edit Excel without braking the Oberth maneuver.

And to make a phone call through KerbNet.

P.S.
Also a bitcoin mining mod, too. When your ship is drifting between Duna and Dres, why lose the time?

Just a mod? We need an entirely new facility at the space center which just mines bitcoin. The possibilities are endless.

Just come over and say: "I want to work here!"

Not quite.

I work at a (fairly) large model train layout that is open for public.

This is part of it:

Sorry, Christmas puked all over it.

Looks like an excellent place to test some Kerbal designs!

Damnit. It's feasible!

How bitcoin miners cope with stuttering?

You totally have my permission to steal this thread.

Thanks, but I'll be a good boy.
