That is not Irony, here's a definition of Irony: the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning: the irony of her reply, “How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend.
not the best example, that's a far better example of sarcasm.
Irony is where you signal an opposition between appearance and reality. A person might be nicknamed "Tiny," but it's ironic if they're actually 8 feet tall.

That is a stupid definition of irony and only came into being in the first place because so many people misused the word so badly for so long. Neither sarcasm, nor especially outright lies, will ever be irony, no matter how many dictionaries get corrupted.
This is ironic because MCPatcher and OptiFine are considered mutually exclusive rivals by most users.

"Sometimes, I just wanna give up, say 'I'm done with this mess' and go to bed. But you know what; you can't shrug off your responsibilities. You got to pull yourself up and meet the challenges head on. That's the only way you're gonna get ahead in life."
My apologies, 4:20 AM here, Didn't realize I quoted the wrong thing. I realized it was sarcasm a few minutes ago.
My apologies as well. You seem like a nice sort, so I feel I should clarify: my post was not meant as a personal attack. I despise that definition of irony, but we don't have to be enemies because you quoted it or anything.

I'm just a Minecraft player that likes to give my opinion. Nothing special to see here.

I use MCPatcher to install another HD Pack fix into Minecraft and instead of using Magic Launcher to install mods I simply use it to run Minecraft.
It's not that ironic, people use magic launcher not just for mods, but for news.

I embrace it.
