She finally had enough
Shirley Curry, the Skyrim Grandma, has finally played enough Skyrim. Nine years, 1.5M subscribers and 2.3K videos later, she’s done.
I have to say, she’s lookin’ really good for 88. My friend group is in the 75 to 85 range, and everybody’s getting a little cyborg-y.
I didn’t watch a whole lot of her videos, but her interactions with the game and with her viewers were fun. When she played with an in-game companion, she chatted away to him like he was people. It was like watching a kid play with Barbies.
She also loved to read aloud from the books in the game, of which the Internet tells me there are 337. I always thought that was an outrageous waste of developer’s time, writing those books, as I assume most players opened and shut them without reading a word. (You have to open them all because a few of them gave you skill points on opening).
The Bethesda game studio has scanned her likeness so they can make her a character in the next game. I hope she lives to see it.

Snarky imaginary thought balloon over Ms. Curry’s head:
Oh. My. Lord. Hour after hour. Day after day. Weeks. Months. Years. It’s had its pleasures. It’s been somewhat satisfying. I’ve made some good friends. But at what cost? All that time I could have been DRINKING! Here, hold my mouse. I’ve got some catching up to do.

Jokes on you Uncle,
She has been drinking all this time.

They can have her character open a food and ale tavern, where she sells….

Drinking while playing Skyrim, recommended.
