The mod includes a new quest, companion, and items—and as marketing stunts go, it looks pretty good.

    Ugh this BS marketing ploy is unfortunately clever.

    Matt berry’s a perfect choice, you summon him with the shout: Eye Kee Ah, there’s an alan wrench sword and a meatball helm. The ikea/sweden/viking/nord connection is there, and so is the encumberance/home clutter connection.

      I’ll accept it. Advertisements aren’t going to go away. This is voluntary to use and fun (to some).

      if we have to live in world with ads everywhere I do appreciate the entertaining ones over the others.

    Intriguing, but there doesn’t seem to be any way to download it except through Bethesda’s “creation club” so as a Skyrim mod it’s a bit of a failure. Pretty good as a marketing stunt, though.

      His appearance on That Pedal Show was how I learned he does music. was good episode for fans of both Matt Berry and guitar gear.

    I love Matt Berry’s voice so much, I don’t even care if it’s an ad, I’ll watch/play whatever he’s in.

      Like this 12 minute ad for a fancy synthesizer? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbO1z13WP8o (Also starring the voice of Jemaine Clement.)

    Anyone who’s ever seen these misappropriated into an institutional setting will know they’re actually made of literal cardboard.

    IKEA have inexpensive furniture made out of straight up wood and/or metal, which is also much better for the environment when it inevitably breaks.

    That said, this is hilarious

      They also aren’t cheap. They sell inserts you can shove into each cubbyhole that are also mostly cardboard and toy-like hinges and handles.

      A 4x2 Kallax is 99$ and if you add a few inserts it easily goes into 200$. You can buy a much sturdier and larger metal wire-rack shelf for the same price and it will hold a lot more. (Home Depot)

      The Kallax is a nice presentation case for displaying things, it’s not great for storage.
