Skyrim grandma retires

I first mentioned Shirley Curry, the "Skyrim grandma", back in 2019. According to Wikipedia, she first retired in 1991 at the age of 55. For years recently, she made a name for herself by playing Skyrim online. Her YouTube channel has 1.29 million subscribers. Recognizing her significance to the gaming community, her appearance was officially digitized by Bethesda Games, so she can be included in the next Elder Scrolls game someday as a non-player character we can meet. Apparently she even has a cameo in Starfield.

Now, at age 88, she will stop playing Skyrim for the public's entertainment. I'm surprised she continued this long, considering that she had a stroke 2 years ago. I hope she lives long enough to see herself in the next video game, but that product is still several years away.

Here is her goodbye video. I haven't watched much of her play recently, but I used to follow along more frequently back in 2019. Go give the video a thumbs up to wish her well in her surgery and re-retirement. :)
