An elderly female streamer passionately expresses her love for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.
Gender and age are no barriers in the gaming world, where all players are welcomed. Seeking joy at the age of 74, a Filipino granny finds herself drawn to Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, fearlessly making her gaming debut.
Specifically, Carmen Taqueban, also known as Lola Gaming, started playing Mobile Legends in 2020 during the complex Covid-19 pandemic. Seeing her grandchildren engrossed in gaming, she became curious and was guided by her grandson.
Naturally, everything starts anew; Carmen Taqueban, from being clueless about which keys to press, becomes fascinated with the game, dedicating more time to the new hobby: 'Previously, I used to play for 8 hours a day. Then, my grandchildren advised me to take breaks, so I only play for 6 hours a day. Currently, I only play games for 2 hours a day to rest my eyes. But sometimes, I get so caught up, I end up playing for 3 hours straight.'
Once accustomed to gaming operations, the streamer's grandson proposed filming and sharing her videos on social media platforms. Surprisingly, many viewers were amazed and impressed by her gaming skills. The granny's fan page now has over 150,000 followers.
Encountering 'toxic' viewers while streaming games is inevitable, Lola Gaming admits. Initially uncomfortable, she understands that as a streamer, she needs to accept them as part of the community. Gradually, she masters her emotions, and no one can take away her joy of gaming.
The 74-year-old female streamer shares that gaming brings her happiness. She also hopes that elderly individuals can try playing Mobile Legends, who knows, they might find it as enjoyable as she does.
