I would have probably started with Splatoon 2 back in 2017 if I didn't get into other games but at least it means I didn't have to play Machine with Splashdown.

I got the first game late 2015 so just over 8 years. Bug I've only been in the comp scene for around 10 months.

I’ve been playing since the start of December 2022, and I’ve been hyper-fixated on it ever since, I have barely played any games outside of it

Consistently, I've only been playing since Splat3's testfire (End of August 2022, after which I borrowed my housemates copy of 2 to tide me over until 3's actual release). I did play briefly in 2015 when the first game came out, enough to fall in love with it, but I just wasn't ready to play PvP games at that point in my life, hah.

September 2023. Unfortunately, for at least three of the past six months, haha funny squid game has occupied at least half of my brain cells.

I don't remember exactly, but it was around 2014-2015 that I started playing Splatoon, and have been playing the series ever since.

I knew of the series since like 2016-early 2017 or so but didn't start until Christmas 2017 (iirc) when I got Splat2. Played it on and off for about a year until I finally played Octo Expansion for the first time around October 2018 and it permanently rewired my brain cells. havent stopped since.

I don't have a concrete number since my memory is hazy but I think I played Splatoon 1 for under 100 hours(mostly solo + playing with my siblings, it was a day 1 buy from my fam though, literally got up at like 6 in the morning to stop by Target and buy the amiibos and game asap) Splat 2 125ish, mostly because during my HS days my fam locked my switch to 2 hours a day so I naturally fell off the game, then Splat 3 atm is 510 hours

lots n lots of big breaks inbetween games and formats
