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

      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)

        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.

        I only did that once on an Apollo style mun mission when I realized I didn’t put any rcs on it after 2 hours of mission. Took a few quick loads so I had enough fuel left to get back.

        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.

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

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