Also, does PC stand for personal computer? I never questioned what PC meant. Huh

Yes Personal Computer, as in a computer that is owned by an individual at their home. As opposed to a mainframe computer running in a large office building or school. Back in the 60s - 90s most computers that people used were actually just monitors hooked up to a large computer running in the basement (I'm simplifying here, but that's the gist)

Yes, this still happens in many corporate and educational settings. Like when you log into a computer at your school using your student account and you can have the same files / programs on your desktop no matter what computer you log into. Essentially there is a big server running somewhere in the building and you are using your computer to log into your account on the server.

IIRC the Wii came out when I was 13-14, and I definitely remember playing it at my friend's house. OH FUCK THAT MEANS THIS RANDO ON THE INTERNET THINKS I'M OLD

Damn I miss these little magnetic bastards. I had so many of these as a kid and I remember having a hard time finding them in stores. (I didn't know they were recalked) funny enough I got loads of these as a kid bc they were in thriftstores constantly between 2007-2011.
