This reminds me of a saying from my programming classes: Garbage in, garbage out. Refers to how inputting bad data WILL make the program produce even more bad data

The hours I dump into games varies wildly. Certain games, mainly Splatoon 2/3, Final Fantasy 14, Factorio, Satisfactory, and anything with a level editor I'll happily dump hundreds of hours into. According to Steam, the game I dumped the most hours into as of this post is Distance, with the majority of that being spent in its level editor.

I'm personally hoping for some news on Splatoon 3's Side Order dlc

Somewhat... They tend to have 3 big ones every year, and this is one of them.
