Is KSP a autistic game? If so I got at least 10,000 hours in.

[–] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 week ago

KSP definitely counts, but I think it's the 10k hours that makes your experience with it autistic.

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pretty sure any amount of hours over 2,000 automatically means it qualifies

[–] Tonava@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

Ah, shit, I thought I was safe for it being a main stream game, but I guess not. The Sims 2 for me

Just because I've built a death star and launched it doesn't mean I'm autistic.

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Absolutely. If you're able to get that many hours into a game, it probably makes it an autistic game.

Though as I typed that, I realised my mom has an ungodly number of hours in Candy Crush, and she definitely doesn't play that in an autistic manner (she's just depressed and doesn't have any friends)

(she’s just depressed and doesn’t have any friends)

Fucking relatable. I got 3 friends, barely see any of them because of adult life :/

I never use RCS to dock in orbit. I can do it with reaction wheels and main engine alone. I don't even bother to put RCS on my ships.

[–] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My first 3 years playing KSP I didn't realize you had to activate RCS with a hotkey.

Turns out I'm really good at docking.

I used to do stuff like that. For the last several years I just sandbox with full mechjeb and treat every launch like its the last ship off kerbin. If it doesn't take twenty minutes real time to five minutes mission time on launch I need to add more parts. I use just a few mods. I have the full atmosphere pack, a fuel balancer and a part welder. Oh and I currently have the tardis added again.

I've been playing since it was in beta and there was only kerbin and the mun. It took a week to get to the moon manually and a few more days to go there and back. I was instantly addicted. That xkcd is me except I didn't do anything on there except the first thing and the last thing. I've had to use jeb to push the capsule out of orbit because I had used all fuel including the RCS. Wasted days creating a perfectly balanced communications constellation. Today though I really enjoy packing everything in to one shot and wasting years in time just going to a planet and farting around.

How do you play for that long? After 500 hours every mission feels the same, even with mods.

[–] yogurtwrong@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

That's what mods and sandbox is for ヾ(^▽^)ノ
