I’ve got enough Irish in me to drink some bruichladdich.

do you just like have a massive folder with a bunch of simpsons stills in it?

oh neat, I don’t think that’s a thing here though.
for me it’s jeans washing day but I guess I’ll drink some booze at the same time.

In comparison to the cat folder it’s pretty small

The only thing stopping the UN from declaring ā€œWorld International Irish Dayā€ is the conflict that massive alcohol consumption presents with their health policies. I’m quite sure there are enough Irish in Sweden to make a green splash somewhere!

Always wondered what the different shades of orange meant on the post count. Number of likes maybe?

Yep.

I’m going to eat dinner now.

It’s Patrick’s Day and I’m a little pisky so time to inflict some Irish lit on y’all

This poem is from At Swim Two Birds by Flann O’Brien, a glorious writer and committed drinker. I’m very fond of the book, which is about a college student supposedly studying literature in Dublin who chooses to spend most of his time getting drunk and writing eccentric fiction. The novel itself is very eccentric. Dylan Thomas called it ā€˜the book to give your sister if she’s a dirty, boozy girl’.

This is from it, an ode to drinking porter (and explains my tagline):

"The Workmans Friend"
When things go wrong and will not come right,
Though you do the best you can,
When life looks black as the hour of night -
A pint of plain is your only man.

When money’s tight and hard to get
And your horse has also ran,
When all you have is a heap of debt -
A pint of plain is your only man.

When health is bad and your heart feels strange,
And your face is pale and wan,
When doctors say you need a change,
A pint of plain is your only man.

When food is scarce and your larder bare
And no rashers grease your pan,
When hunger grows as your meals are rare -
A pint of plain is your only man.

In time of trouble and lousey strife,
You have still got a darlint plan
You still can turn to a brighter life -
A pint of plain is your only man.

On desktop, if you hover over the like count it displays a little blurb on the like:post ratio.

Silver: ā€œThis topic has X repliesā€
Dirty Gold/Bronze: ā€œThis topic has X replies with a high like to post ratioā€
Gold: ā€œThis topic has X replies with a very high like to post ratioā€
Bright Gold: ā€œThis topic has X replies with an extremely high like to post ratioā€

Hadn’t really thought about it before, but the three levels of gold remind me of BL1’s legendary quality tiers.

mmmmm well yeah

cause it is


And that backpack interface? No stutters at all, and much much less clunky to work with than BL2’s. All your information on the same screen. Also, by the end of one playthrough you have about 42 backpack slots. No flash, all substance.

There are too many good writers on this forum!

I mean it, when I have brain-space to play a game that involves any learning (soon) I’m enlisting you to take me through this game. I’ll feel forever an impostor on these forums until I play it.

I’m far from the most knowledgeable about BL1 on the boards here, I think I’m just chatty about it.

Yet still,

I am so, so far from knowing my way around BL2 loot mechanics. I did manage to worm my way up to OP7, but I still don’t have any OP8 toons.
