    Most of my childhood was in the early 2010s but for me it was like I was living in the 90s because I was always at my grandparent’s. They had all sorts of retro tech I played with as a kid. I burned CDs, I listened to cassettes and I had no internet, ever. My first exposure to a PC was with a mid 80s PC clone running Windows 1.0. So it’s probably something like this

But yes, I also had a Wii and a DSi but I had just a handful of games, so I played Pokémon White all day and almost finished it three times
