Losing steam... (Yes, that's a pun)

[Whirligig Girl]

So over the past week I've been losing my extremely vested and concentrated interest in space, orbits, ... and Kerbals. Why? Well, school is very stressful for me this year, and whenever i'm constantly stressed, I sort of revert to more childish personality. It's not that noticeable, except instead of talking constantly about rockets, it's trains. I have always like trains, and Thomas the Tank Engine, but it's usually kept hidden away while I'm obsessed with something bigger than the railways of the British Isles.

I'll still be here on major livestreams to drive the HypeTrain, after all, and I'll probably gain more interest when 0.25 comes out, let's hope I get less stressed so I can get back on track (erm...off track? Into space.) with KSP.

I'll still check the forum every once in a while, but KSP will be secondary, if not tertiary, now.

What is the hype train?

Thank you for information GregroxMun, it's been really educative post.

Have you appointed a successor for the position of hypetrain conductor?

Ive been listening to a few podcasts during work, one about the history of Rome, and another about the history of China, and the moment that there is a succession crisis, IT IS INSTANT BLOODY CIVIL WAR LITERALLY EVERYWHERE.

So yeah, do that.

I'm still the HypeTrain driver, because after all that does relate to trains. HypeTrain has no conductor. Other than Pete the robot, but everyone just ignores him.

Frankly, if we need someone to drive the train, it should be someone with more than a tertiary interest in KSP.

You know it makes sense.

Besides, Pete the Robot's quite nice if you give him half a chance.

[I_Killed_Jeb]

honestly i probably spend way more time on these forums than actually playing the game nowadays

[worir4]

I have also just started college (British) and I have to devote more time to maths and physics in real life (Also Russian history and Philosophy) Are you also starting college or aremail you younger?

BTW my maths teacher totaly looks like an older Scott Manley.

if you let education become your focus, you'll find it a lot easier to manage your game-time and it'll become more fun. Don't try to do games first, work later.

Welcome to the forums. The HypeTrain started up full steam (yeah I robbed a pun, deal with it) just prior to 0.24's release. It was basically hundreds of people flooding a single thread and crashing the forums repeatedly until the devs finally pushed it to the public. It was a lot of fun. Many funny images were produces, MatoroIgnika did a live stream where he built a train engine in KSP and flew it to Minmus. We'll see if that magic can be repeated for 0.25.

I just played KSP again, and actually, I'm kind of getting back into it. My new save already has a Minmus base with a karbonite station!

karbonite not kethane!

Did you actually read the post? HypeTRAIN!!

Also I dismantled Pete the Robot for spare parts.

Since this is not really about the game itself, moved to off-topic lounge.

[Whirligig Girl]

Right yes...

[Dodgey]

So are you staying or going. Cause of you are going I want your stuff. I like trains

Please, no Hypetrain this time. It might be fun, but the developers and the game suffer from it. When 0.24 was first released, it was almost unplayable, because everyone was so hyped and wanted it RIGHT NOW. Same goes for 64 bit, the developers warned that it is very buggy, but the community kept on hyping and begging. Now almost nobody plays 64 bit because of severe bugs.

This is not only addressed to you, Gregrox, but to the community as a whole.
