Imirt - The Irish Game Makers Association

Four people in a pub in Ireland drinking pints of Guinness, one of them (Karl) is wearing a loud shirt and pulling a silly face and we don't know why.

Last month we sent Des to Ireland to drink Guinness, take selfies with Karl and to host a panel for @imirt.bsky.social. 🍻 It was a grand old time! No, we don’t know why Karl pulled that face, sorry. 🤷
