While some followers have left affectionate messages, Curry feels that these do not reflect the purpose behind his videos.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Vlog #75 - My &#039;Goodbye&#039; to Skyrim\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/89L4oV-ZKqM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The content creator explained that, although she will eventually continue uploading vlogs from time to time to communicate with her older followers, she does not want her channel to become a space for children. \u201c<strong>I prefer meaningful conversations,\u201d she emphasized<\/strong>. In her video, Curry mentioned that she had already considered retiring before, but this time it seems that her decision will be final.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On her journey as a creator, Curry recently took a break to play Oblivion Remastered, a title that allowed her to step away from Skyrim for a while. However, upon returning to Skyrim, she found that her interest had faded. <strong>\u201cEvery time I came up with a new idea to play, I quickly got bored,\u201d she commented, making it clear that she has reached her limit with the game<\/strong>. With her announcement, Skyrim Grandma closes a significant chapter of her life and leaves an indelible mark on the gaming community.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Steam\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/3047d89c-96d0-11e6-8546-00163ed833e7\/2505233623\/steam-download.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Steam<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/steam.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/steam.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shirley Curry, known by many as Skyrim Grandma, has announced her decision to permanently retire from uploading content about the popular Bethesda RPG after 15 years of dedication.
