It's the same reason a lot of old people play card games. Don't hack the analog way ;) My grandma is someone who gave me a love for games of all kinds!

[@lorriejones8064]

I'm in my 50s and have played on line for years. It is such a kick when my son (who lived across USA from me) invited me to join him playing WOW. It took the guild a while to adjust but it was great! Occasionally, I would get a whisper from a curious gamer asking if I was really a female AND a mom. And yes, I've run across my share of trolls. I have quit in the last 4 years due to it being time to step up and help care for my 84 year old father. I miss playing deeply and often dream of the day I can return to gaming. Who knows! By the time I get back, maybe I'll be the next Grandma Shirley. I think I would like that.

[@gentlechaos5911]

My grandma used to be the same, every birthday and christmas we kids would buy her fantasy books like Eragon or Harry Potter because she loved them. Some day she told me not to bother anymore because she stopped being able to remember all the names T^T Damn, that made me really sad. But she still always has her Nintendo 3DS right next to her TV chair :)

[@druidofthefang]

I got to disagree heavily. Sports and outdoor movement are 10 times better than sitting down inside. Especially for physical health, which is directly connected to mental health.

[@Christobix]

@@druidofthefang Why not both? It's not like they're exclusive, and games are definitely better than e.g. watching TV, especially if there's a social and/or creative component with making videos and interacting with her audience. She likely has a lot of free time, and so she could do hours of both each day.

Gopher is one of the youtubers that plays Skyrim as a character, much like Shirley does. As a player, he knows about most of the places here and there, but like Shirley said "The character doesn't know" His gameplay with Fallout and Elder Scrolls games are a bit different from hers, but only in the feeling those two provoke. In how they play the games they are very similar (minus cursing, depending on Gopher's character, his character may curse)

I'm 34. After watching me play Breath of the Wild for months, I finally got my mom to try it at 71 years old. She was convinced she would die the first time something attacked her, but she didn't. She killed it, and she was hooked. I posted about it on my blog, and it skyrocketed overnight. I haven't gotten a single negative comment on it, and my mom has gotten nothing but love and encouragement on her adventures. I spent weeks letting her run around and practice on my 100% file, posting updates every so often, and last month she finally started her own file. It's been a co-op playthrough with me doing the things that are still just a little too difficult for her, and we've been having a blast together. She decided she wants to be part of the 900 Club and get all 900 Korok seeds like I did, and we've gotten over 150 so far over 40+ hours. When she was unsure about trying the game, I told her about Grandma and that made her give it a go. I'm going to show her this documentary now so she can know more about Grandma. 😊

Regarding two comments Shirley made; People don't watch you because you're old :( Sure, it might be the novelty that makes them curious and brings them in, but the reason they stay is because you're a wonderful person. And you're very young at heart, in my opinion. The comparisons to Bob Ross is because you're a positive person, and watching your videos can be very therapeutic and calming. I don't even want to acknowledge the people leaving mean comments, I'm just happy Shirley can brush them off, and that it never discouraged her from continuing to play and record. Lastly, if this lady was my mom I'd happily accompany her to any convention, and I hope one of her sons can do the same.
