Video games are generally associated with kids but 90-year-old Hamako Mori from Japan thinks it’s not fair that only children play them. The lady who started playing 39 years ago is now a gaming YouTuber with over 275,000 subscribers on her channel ‘Gamer Grandma’.
According to The Indian Express, Guinness World Records has confirmed that she is the world’s oldest YouTube gamer.
CNN reports that she plays 7-8 hours a day, unboxes new consoles, and tries her hand at Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty, Resident Evil and other popular games posting at least 4 videos a month. She was quoted saying,
“After living for this long, I feel more than ever that playing games for this long was the right choice. I am truly enjoying my life — it’s rosy.”

Thank you for proving that age is just a number, Ms. Mori. We hope that we are just as badass as you are when we grow older.
