Things you've caught yourself doing after a KSP binge

[kyle5432]

Surely I can't be the only one here who temporary sees EVERYTHING in relation when transitioning from an extended KSP marathon back to real life. Seeing a strut in the odd support is normal by now, but things never get as bad as they do in those few minutes

For starters, I just caught myself mashing the > key for a good 30 seconds while starring at a download bar because I thought timewarp was real.

.... Step away from the keyboard.....

You know it's time for a walk in the sunshine when...

[Whirligig Girl]

I feel like I'm in zero-g when at school and I grab on to things and fling myself. Sometimes the straps on my backpack are jetpack handles.

I get Kerbol and Solar systems mixed up, usually draws strange looks from friends, but my sister, who I brought to the dark side of kerbal, just laughs.

[John Crichton]

I look at cars and think about what parts they could remove for efficiency.

Also, whenever I fly (around once a week), I now ask myself what the plane's deltaV is.

[InterCity]

When something is bad i sometimes try to stick imaginary boosters to it

Ohhh thank God I thought it was only me

Might be a special case, but I do tend to notice more rocket bells around. Of course I live 2 miles from Rocketdyne.

Not exactly the same thing, but when I'm watching KSP videos on the YouTubes, I instinctively try to rotate my view with the mouse.

I can't count the number of times I've done this, also on forum screenshots.

... rubbing my backside because it has become numb from sitting at the PC for hours on end.

[Deadpangod3]

I swear I saw my little sister as a Kerbal for a moment the other day.

And I also keep hitting m to switch to map view whilst playing other games.

[panzerknoef]

Spending the night thinking how you could improve your spacrafts...

[Requiem762]

planning missions during school.

[Greenspan]

I tell people Low EARTH Orbit starts at 70km and look like an idiot

[Spartwo]

planning missions during school.

This is all the time.

I have the advantage of forgetting what I did for the majority and finding craft files the next morning ready to be improved. I did one Tuesday night(and found it the next)

Sometimes they're pretty terrible,sometimes they're amazing,sometimes I fall asleep while playing and find a half made lander.

I do the mouse thing too. Almost every time I watch a KSP video I try at least once to rotate the camera for a better view. >.<

Also I save delta-V while driving my car by shifting into neutral on downhill slopes so I can conserve momentum for the next uphill.

[kookoo_gr]

i AM NOT ADD.... I am not addicted to KSP. I also usually shift my car into neutral when driving downhill to save ÃŽâ€V.

[Blaster]

After playing enough KSP, many movies involving rocket physics are wrong.

Yeah, I do the mouse thing with KSP vids too. As for coasting in a car, I accelerate on the downhill and coast uphill.

[kBob]

Count me the shift to neutral ∆v camp (note this is illegal in CA for one). The worst is falling asleep shortly after a KSP session, I dream designs, I dream Kerbals I wake up early wanting to try something out I was just dreaming. Reminds me a bit of Trekkies/Trekkers, soon we will see people dressing up as Kerbals and building Kerbal style ships in their living rooms (if it hasn't happened already).

[CalculusWarrior]

In Google Earth, when I zoom out I expect to be able to see my rocket's trajectory and icon, as well as the orbit of the Moon.

I've also caught myself wondering when there will be an expedition to Earth's second moon...

[FenrirWolf]

When driving around during a snowstorm this weekend, I found myself thinking that it feels like flying a rocket since the slippery environment made braking feel more like a retroburn

Not even Star Wars?!

[Dodgey]

Lecturing people on orbital dynamics and wonder why it is so hard for them to grasp. Also cringe when people say how hard can it be about space travel.
