89-year-old Skyrim Grandma starts streaming Oblivion Remastered, has to deal with its mystifying lockpicking minigame and 'absolutely ugly movement' just like we did in 2006

Like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis or Raichu emerging from Pikachu, Skyrim Grandma Shirley Curry has reached a new, impossibly powerful form. She has become Oblivion Grandma—Grandma Remastered, roaming the hills and dales of Cyrodiil with sprightly abandon.

Curry, who was born in 1936, has been a stalwart of the Skyrim YouTube scene ever since her first upload a decade ago. Barring the odd break and hiccough, she's been a regular since then, uploading roleplaying-focused Skyrim vids that have even earned her a nod from Bethesda itself. Now she's branching out, getting menaced by conjurers, taking issue with UE5, and gradually falling in love with Oblivion the way I did in 2006 (when Curry was a mere 70 years old).
