What do you do in the time your heavily modded KSP needs to load?

[steve_v]

Err, alt-tab out and see what's new on the forum. i.e. right now.

Or make coffee

[Treldon]

Alt+Enter to let it load and open an EtG match. Doing the same while waiting for my rockets from testing contracts to land

(EtG - Elements the Game - is an online card game, somewhat similar to Magic the Gathering)

[Stratzenblitz75]

When my KSP is loading (or reloading after the n^th crash), I'll ALT-TAB and browse the forum, and perhaps watch a 2-3 minute video.

[SkyRender]

I know better than to Alt-Tab off of KSP during starting load; that makes it more prone to crashing. I usually load up a DS or 3DS game and play on that for a bit.

[steve_v]

Heh, not on GNU/Linux it doesn't

[Robotengineer]

Browse the forum.

[Thomas988]

I really just sit there and wait. If it's really bad (like, several minutes) then I'll turn on my iPod and watch some YouTube.

[problemecium]

I don't actually drink coffee (child's taste buds), but I ticked it because my lightly-modded KSP loads in just about enough time for me to pour myself a glass of soda.

[obi_juan]

A page of an e-book... Now I am reading Red Mars... The time to load the program is too short in the new version (0.90) ... In the previous version I could read a hole page or more, now less than half.

[Thiagobs]

Usually I grab my phone and browse 9gag or I go fridge-hunting in the kitchen

[InterCity]

Don't have that issue. A 6 GB/s SSD makes any loading almost instantaneous. All hail the mighty technology!

[steve_v]

I go fridge-hunting in the kitchen

Must be a big kitchen, if you have to hunt for the fridge

[Fleb]

I just wait, because it doesn't seem to take that long on an SSD.

[lukeoftheaura]

Heh, not on GNU/Linux it doesn't

*messes with fancy compositing desktop effects while KSP loads*

I use GNOME shell, I browse GNOME extensions while ksp loads

[Matt77]

It takes a out 5 mins on my clockwork computer.

I have a remote controlled quadcopter that flies for about 5 mins before recharging, so I am now well practiced in drone piloting!

[*Aqua*]

I usually go to the bathroom. And make some coffee afterwards.

[Ikaneko]

I either go to the IRC chat channel for ksp and complain about how long it takes for KSP to load, or I do my homework.

[Uncle Mort]

I voted smoking break, not because I smoke but more because I quietly fume to myself as I wait.

[CptRichardson]

What do you do in the time your heavily modded KSP needs to load?

Nothing, for I use Directx11 to reduce my load-time to seconds!

[LABHOUSE]

I wait or if it is really bad I see if Google has another special logo day and if not and it is not half way done, then time for minecraft.

[Sirrobert]

Back in .21 or something, I used to alt tab out while waiting. But now it seems that alt tabbing actually pauses the loading, so I just sit and wait. It's not that long, if I load up something on my phone, the game will be loaded by the time I started doing something else.

Maybe I pour myself a drink, but that's it

[Slam_Jones]

Usually just put on a music video or something. When I hear the dramatic Kerbal music come in, I know it's loaded

[Kar]

I take a pee

[crunchynut]

Go outside and get my daily dose of sunlight for soon I shall fall into a pit of endless cosmic choreography.
