Some called him Elden Ring Grandpa, mirroringSkyrim Grandma Shirley Curry.
Others theorized it might be Sir Ansbach’s alt account.
(Williams does know of Skyrim Grandma, by the way.
“That’s encouraging, huh?
What a great story,” he says.)
72 years is a lot of life to live.
We can all only hope we’re still beating games like Elden Ring at that age.
“I still play online, and I still love playing online.
But I’m not shy about playing online.”
“I don’t drink, I don’t smoke.
You just have to take care of yourself and then the games will take care of you.
In so many words: touch grass, folks.
Williams has been gaming “since I first saw Pong in a beer joint late one night.
Shocked me so much I almost dropped my beer.
Shortly after that they brought in Missile Command.
Vector graphics in four different colors!”
Skip ahead just a couple of years and Williams has a PS5 Pro and an Xbox Series X.
But he dropped it around level 68 when he “got distracted by other games.”
Other favorite games include Street Fighter and Super Metroid.
“Ask me tomorrow and I might have a different answer,” he says of his top picks.

“If you think that’s craziness, look at this.
I think Elden Ring may be a once in a generation game.”
“It was awful at first.
It’s improved a lot now.”
It’s also more proof that games are for everyone and can be a lifelong hobby.
I need some people to take notes here as well.
“I would say don’t take a stab at control other people,” Williams responded.
“Don’t venture to control other gamers, be tolerant and accepting of everyone.
You know, there’s room for everybody in games.”
