The video game scene isn’t always a positive space, but there are a few figures that help brighten the days. Fans ofSkyrimwould be hard-pressed to find a figure that personifies that brightness more than Shirley Curry, lovingly dubbedSkyrimgrandmaby her thousands of fans on the internet. Curry regularly plays and posts videos ofSkyrimon her YouTube channel, which has garnered an impressive following. However, Curry recently confirmed that she has suffered a stroke.
On Twitter, a fan expressed concern over Curry’s well-being, stating that she had grown worried about her over the last few days.

Curry, whowill be an NPC inElder Scrolls 6,stated that she was most frustrated that her condition had affected her ability to play games. She stated that she doesn’t remember a lot aboutSkyrim,and that she “doesn’t know what will happen” with gaming. Memory impairments are a common side effect of strokes and can have lasting effects.
Curry is considered an incredibly wholesome figure in her circle, providing a respite for those that are downtrodden or in a rough spot, especially given current global circumstances. However, things haven’t always been smooth sailing for the content creator. Curry dealt with a wave ofmean comments on herSkyrimvideosfor a period, though it seems those problems have been put to bed.
It’s clear that Curry immensely enjoys her work as a gaming content creator, and one can hope that she has a speedy recovery process. It’s hard to understate the profound impact that she’s had on some of her fans, creating a mutually beneficial relationship for everyone involved. It’s rare to see such a symbiotic relationship form between the two different spheres.
In the meantime, the best thing fans can do is continue to offer Curry their support, sharing positive messages and well-wishes. Losing one’s capacity to partake in something they enjoy to the fullest degree is, undoubtedly, stressful, and with the other crises facing the world right now, positivity can be difficult to come by. It’s yet another instance where members of the community having each other’s backs can have a huge impact.
Game Rant would like to wish Shirley Curry sincere wishes for a speedy recovery.
