This Skyrim mod makes me want to lie down for a minute. Uploaded by user MissleMann, the Grimace Mead mod is credited simply as "He watches". Excellent. On the plus side, NexusMod's virus scanning feature designates Skyrimace Grimace Shake as "safe to use."

If you haven't heard of Grimace Shake, it's one of those TikTok trends that's so weird it's infectious, you can't escape it. Receive a Grimace Shake from McDonald's. Say happy birthday to Grimace. You drink it. Then you are found by a photographer in a puddle of Grimace-colored blood, probably dead. Also, more Twitter memes have been created than you can shake a Grimace at.

This version of the Grimas Shake is named Grimas Mead and can be bought from Beresaul for a whopping 170 septims. That is the equivalent of 18 loaves of bread or 28 potatoes. Fortunately, I didn't have to download this accursed craft to my machine to try it out, since a YouTube channel called Jackery has already done it for me.

Upon drinking the Grimace Mead, your character immediately blacks out and wakes up in a secondary location surrounded by purple goo, presumably trying to stave off all birthday wishes. Shockingly, you don't die. This proves, if TikTok is any indication, that Dva-Kiin is somehow strong enough to resist a drink that would otherwise have a 100% mortality rate.

Watching Jackery's dragonborn brawl with the hawkers and the screen become covered in a purple haze, one can't help but feel a sense of gaming patriotism. The mod is basically a shitpost, but shitposts have formed an important element of Skyrim's mod community for over a decade, including the infamous "Thomas the Tank Engine" mod of yesteryear and the recent mod that turns all dragons into Ohio State. It's just tradition.
