Shirley Curry, the 88-year-old YouTuber better known as the Skyrim Grandma, has announced her retirement, saying she’s “bored to death” of making gaming videos.
Curry uploaded her first Skyrim gameplay video to YouTube in 2015, and had amassed over 1m subscribers by 2021. Despite suffering a stroke that same year, Curry soon returned to her gaming chair and has continued to post videos of her adventures in Tamriel since then.
But now, Curry’s Skyrim journey has finally reached its end. In a vlog titled ‘No More Gaming Videos’ shared over the weekend, Curry told fans, “It seems I spend most of my time sitting in here at this computer, and lately – probably for the last month – I walk in here and look at my computer, and think ‘I’ve got to make a video today’. And then I just shake my head at myself and say, ‘I don’t want to, I have no desire to, and I turn around and walk back out.'”
