I would classify it as a cult but here is what Brave's AI says:

A Freemason is a member of a fraternal organization known as Freemasonry, which is one of the oldest and largest such organizations in the world. Freemasonry traces its roots to medieval stonemason guilds but evolved into a society focused on self-improvement, morality, and community service. Members of Freemasonry are typically men who believe in a Supreme Being and are recommended by existing members. Freemasons engage in various rituals and ceremonies, often centered around the construction of King Solomon's Temple, to teach moral and ethical lessons. They also emphasize the importance of brotherly love, charity, and truth.

Freemasonry is divided into different levels or degrees, including Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and Master Mason, each with its own set of teachings and symbols. The organization is known for its philanthropic activities and has included many prominent figures among its members, such as U.S. presidents and influential artists and thinkers.

You know "the Illuminati"? That ties into this stuff. Not all of the lodges are the same but they all believe in "enlightenment".
 
Basically it's a secret men's only society that exists globally. You very likely have a Masonic lodge where you live (or nearby).

At the very, very, very outer surface it's just a men's club where the hang out and might do charity things. As you go deeper it... gets very messed up.

There is also something to do with a big university in the US I am forgetting. I think it was the university Bush Jr. went to. Some secret cult club. It is slipping my memory at the moment. They made a movie about it.

My first "console" was a Commodore 64. But to be fair, we had that long before I was born. The first actual "console" we had was a Gameboy Pocket (1999) and the first console-console I got was a SNES from a garage sale (probably around 2001). Then N64 followed a year or two later.

We used to emulate SNES in the mid-90s though.

Also my wife is only a few days older than the N64.
