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

[Janos1986]

I use the texture optimizer which name I forgot, so it takes me 2 minutes, 3 minutes tops. Not much time to do anything.

[CalMacDa]

How about a "read the forums" poll option?

[CalMacDa]

Bah! Humbug!

[leops1984]

I run windowed, so I just switch to my browser.

How much body fat could the KSP community loose till the end of 2015 if we used the loading time to run stairs, do situps or pushups etc.?

[lajoswinkler]

Don't alt+tab loading KSP. Just don't.

I check the temperature and pressure of the pipes in the reactor vessel, and remind my female colleague to put on a lead apron before adding more fuel. She's a hard worker, always thinking more about energy production than her safety.

Mostly make another cup of green tea. I figure long loading times are the game's way of keeping me hydrated.

Sometimes I'll start/continue working on a drawing, and totally forget that KSP was backgrounded for the next hour or two

(Alt-tab gives me no issues at all during loading, as long as I use the popup window shortcut option )

[DaniWesNL]

Because of Active Texture Management and an SSD I hardly need to wait

[Norpo]

Get a cup of water; It's not like my game is TOO heavily modded, but it's enough time to stretch and get a cup of water, maybe a snack, etc.

[GreeningGalaxy]

I usually pop open the terminal, start irssi, and go on #KSPOfficial to brag about what I'm going to do next.

Until recently, I alt tabbed, never had anything bad happen. Then, KSP decided to now not load when alt tabbed, so I now run it "window borderless" which makes it feel like full screen, but I can go browse the internet while I wait

[PwnedDuck]

There's no option for tea-break...

[DresCroffgrin]

I usually just read the forums or watch an episode of Cheers. KSP does take a while to load (just timed it at 1:50), but then again, I do have enough mods to bump the RAM usage up to 5.2 gb (Linux x64 for the win!), so I kind of expect it.

[Felsmak]

I start up an unmodded game on a separate computer and finish a new career.

[HafCoJoe]

Browse the forum of course!

[Travisfv]

Grab coffee, read the news on my phone, queue up music on my laptop.

[Camaron]

I watch the bar and then start the game.

RAID 0 SSD's.

....Really? Mine only just started to load while minimized, and never did before 0.90. I thought it was a new fix. I wonder what that's about?

While I should have put none of the above. But, I do go for coffee brakes while flying basic Jets on Kerbin to do contracts with. 2 hour + flights in a straight line most of the time one neds to do somethign else. Like go for coffee. Play with the dogs. Make food. Read Book or forums or chat in a chat room. But, one poll option you forgot was. Bio-Break for longer play time.

[Red Dwarf]

I usually jog around the block 30 or 40 times. My computer is a potato.

[AfailingHORSE]

depends on what Im loading it on:

My desktop's PCI-SSD: put a beer in the fridge

My desktop's mass storage HDD: move it to the second monitor (I play in windowed mode) and launch a steam game and check back tomorrow

My Laptop: what I am actually supposed to be doing at the time (YAY college lectures).

No clue. This started around... .25? I think?
