It does, but as far as I know PD3 still requires an online connection for single player. I’ve read issues of people lagging in single player, that’s crazy.

Yeah the advances we’ve made in the past decade have been great.

I reused my online handle into a more traditional name, and gave myself a middle name so people nickname me my online handle without prompting lol.

What helped me after a long period of not gaming was getting a Steam Deck. I already had access to all my PC games, but now I could take them anywhere with me. Elden Ring is nice, but cuddled up in bed next to my dogs just before I go to sleep? It’s like nothing else. And all the modding you can do to it too, oh my god. You’d have access to all the retro games you want, and more.

I’m in my 30s, wife’s in her 40s, and we both play video games. I just got my first tamagotchi a week ago lol, do what makes you happy, and that’ll make someone else happy. We met on FF 14, so maybe integrate into communities you’re interested in and start talking to people.
