Bluesky info
https://bsky.app/profile/iridiumwolf.bsky.social I have a spot on Bluesky now, FYSA.
Happy Holidays!
Happy holidays to one and all!
Blowing dust off
Yep, I'm still alive. Twitter's getting worse and it probably won't be long before I have to close up my site there. In anticipation, I've made an Itaku: https://itaku.ee/profile/ir77wolf. I poked at Mastodon but have no idea what server to join. The .cloud server some folks are on doesn't show up…
Social media
I have been pondering joining a social media platform. Weasyl is nice, but it never gained the sense of community that FA did, and with the spambot attacks a few months ago and continuing connection error problems, I probably should diversify. Twitter, for all its faults, seems very popular, at lea…
Apologies
I posted the cheetah Iridium picture twice, my apologies. The recent, second one, has been removed.
Huh. Learning something new every day
There are at least a half dozen "Iridium" characters on Fur Affinity now. An alien, a dragon, a fox, a coyote/wolf?, another dragon, a pegasus, a rabbit, and others. Goodness.
Part 2 will be delayed
Today turned out to be far more draining and aggravating than expected. Part 2 to my nonsense has been delayed.
15 Seconds of Internet Fame
Woot! I've made it into a Jingles video! Together with a couple friends, including the incomparable ciraeon. :D Our triple Lyon division starts at about 5:30 in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=je-D4qu2eck First time for me, and I've submitted several videos to RADM Jingles (and Quickyba…
Day Tripping
I will be paying FA United a visit today. I will have a dinosaur in tow.
Felt it needed sharing

Maybe a little late, but hopefully honest?
Ah, not sure how to start this, or how to say it, but I think it's past time I asked something like this and talked about it. It's come to my attention that some people, some people very dear to me, some people I consider friends and great people, are under the impression that I do not like (or str…
Ramblings
Happy Holidays, everyone. Just had a birthday, whee, another trip around the sun. I figured out a satisfactory ending to Infinite Warfare. It's a "Non-standard Game-Over", but it works for me. The solution was simple: kill the mole in the anti-spaceship gun control room. You get a "You killed the H…
Destiny (video game) question
So, Destiny's next expansion is due in a few weeks. I had to download a huge chunk of data for it yesterday. And today when I got to play I noticed that my level 40, nearly 300 light level, Hunter started seeing a lot of Green engram drops. I mean a lot. And those Blue engrams I did get were all le…
Question!
For those people who stream video game playing, how do you do it? I have pondered doing it so I am curious. The games would be World of Tanks, World of Warships, Armored Warfare, and whatever else I be playing.
Car issues
My car has tire issues, so is in the shop overnight. My warranty allows me a rental, so yay. My car: Dodge Charger. Rental: Hyundai Elantra Charger > Elantra. :( I miss my Charger already. I'm looking forward to getting it back tomorrow.
I want to help
There are a lot of people, a lot of good people, in the fandom who are hurting in various ways. I know or know of a fair number of them. They lost their job(s), they are losing their homes, they are in really shitty situations and need out. I want to help, I do help where I can. But I have limits.…
So, that one movie....
Zootopia. I finally saw it. It was pretty good.
Soliciting artist for commission
I am getting into a Star Wars play by post game, based on the Force and Destiny game. I would like to have a character portrait/image (or two or three) done of my character. :) Who is available? Do you know someone who would do a good job with Star Wars characters? Please let me know!
Patreon
I know nothing about Patreon, other than a lot of artists use it, and for a while there were lots of issues with it. Including getting credit card numbers stolen and such. Have those issues been resolved? There are more than a few artists I'd consider supporting, but I won't do it if it's not safe…
happy new year
I am alive, and it is 2016. It is also mid January and I am finally seeing the first snow flurry of the winter. About time. Trying to upgrade/build my PC this weekend. It did not take long for the process to remind me why I have grown to dislike doing it myself. :/ This iteration required me to rus…
Turkey Day
Once again, away with limited internet access for the holiday. Will be back to full access Satuday evening. Food for thought: why does Daniel Ingram have so few awards for his songwriting?
About Patreon
No, I'm not getting one. But I have been reading a lot of artists complaining that there are too many people out there pledging the highest amount, taking everything for free, and then cancelling their support before they have to pay. Which is a really low thing to do. I also know nothing about Pat…
Console gaming
I am beginning to ponder my next gaming console purchase/upgrade. I am relatively sure that I will be getting an Xbox One, eventually. I happened to be in a Best Buy this weekend and I see that Xbox Ones are still selling for around $400 or so. Is that a good price? What sort of accessories should…
Still alive
I've been enjoying (ahem) Adventures in Parent-sitting. Mom had a kneecap replaced, and partial knee replacement behind it last week. I've been spending a lot (most!) of my time with her. My cats are getting very affectionate on me when I'm actually home. And my house really needs some work. Sigh.…
Rest in peace
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6832927/ Doug Winger passed away today. There have been many touching tributes to him here and elsewhere. I had the pleasure of chatting with him on FurryMUCK only a few times, as I can be rather shy when around someone with Doug's reputation and ability and aweso…
Awww man....
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/12/movies/christopher-lee-dies-count-dracula-lord-rings-star-wars-james-bond-scaramanga.html?_r=0 After an incredible life at 93, Sir Christopher Lee has died. :( His biography is incredible, a very accomplished gentleman. He'll be missed. We should celebrate his long…
Questions
When is it appropriate to ask someone who ran a fundraiser growth drive thing when they intend on finishing the project? The money's already been donated, and probably been spent for that matter. But the promised images have yet to be completed. Is a month too early? Is a year too late? I ask as I…
Well crap
So I managed to base coat the pilot, the gunner, the rokkits, and the arms of my gorkanaut yesterday before it got too hot and humid today. And after chores and laundry and such, I actually sat down to paint the pilot and the gunner. "So, green for skin," paint paint. "A brown for leather," paint p…
Inquiry
Now that I finally have an idea for a commission, no one seems to be available. :( I don't know how many artists pay attention to my journals, but I'm looking for someone who can do buff, can do busty, can do zaftig, can do high end business attire and is open for commissions. But if you have a rec…
Hobby update
Well, it's been a busy weekend and week for me hobby-wise, for a change! I built my Raven Guard Venerable Dreadnought finally. I also experimented with magnetizing the arms, since dreadnoughts have such a wide range of weapons available to them. I got a Mk IV power fist, a Mk IV assault cannon, and…
Huh, okay....
Well, since my concepts of various levels of content are apparently no where near what this site uses, from now on everything I post will either be General, which will be any pictures of my 40k or Dropzone Commander models (excluding of course any Slaaneshi aligned daemons) or Mature (Explicit) 18+…
Submitting old stuff
As you can see, I have submitted a bunch of my old stuff. I think I got just about everything Moonstalker did for/of me up. Other than one or two notable exceptions, Gideon's stuff is up. One of those exceptions will be put up soon I think. I'm not sure if I want to continue being organized and mak…
Just one of those moods I guess
I'm kind of pissed at the world and everything. Everything is getting on my nerves. It is difficult to retrain the urge to rant and rave. :/ Happy Holidays.
Smite?
I just heard about a game called Smite, which looks like another League of Legends/DotA clone but in 3rd person. It looks interesting, and "Fenrir" + "grows huge" = definite Iridium interest. Is it any good? Or is it another PvP-fest where only the very l33t-ist should bother? In other news, the ot…
It is done.
Well, it took a lot longer than I expected, thanks to FA's inconveniently timed database query that slowed everything down. My FA account is now shut down. I am now emptying the 11k journal notifications and 38k submission notifications that I have let build up since January when I stopped posting…
Back and Notice
I am back from vacation. Huzzah. Long drive was long. And I'm tired. But glad to be home. In other news, I am officially closing down my Fur Affinity account. I'll just say that this past year of ahem management and hiring of personnel to run FA has not filled me with confidence. I stopped posting…
Hobby Productiveness
There's not much for me to do at my grandpa's house. Last year I put together 5 tactical marines. It was hard as my grandpa watches the Hallmark channel almost constantly. I can only take so many Christmas specials before I go nuts. Anyway, he hasn't watched any TV today. Huzzah. This year I brough…
Turkey-cation.
It's that time of year again, yay. I'm off to visit my grandfather (who is 92) with my mother for the holiday. I'll be offline for the most part until Saturday night or Sunday. See ya'll then!
I'm amazed
I'm also appalled. Furaffinity can't seem to help itself. First was the 'hire' in January, which led me to joining Weasyl. Now is the announcement of the 'hire' of a known individual of questionable morals with a penchant for accessing people's personal information without their knowledge or permis…
Hmmmm.....
A plea to support Human Resources' Kickstarter appeared in my inbox. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/659943965/human-resources-an-apocalyptic-rts-game And I have to say, it looks intriguing. Particularly if you're into macro stuff and rampaging. I'm not sure if I'll send money, but I am tempte…
Offline for a bit
I'll be offline for a while. I'm in the process of moving and today my desktop was put in boxes. A combination of things kept me from getting stuff moved from point A to point B, the least of which is a big thunderstorm. Driving a moving truck in a thunderstorm is not my idea of fun. Hopefully it w…
Searching for artist(s)
I'm looking for artists to commission, one to do a 2-3 page sketchy comic. I have an idea that can be squeezed in 2 pages, but might be better as 3 pages. I don't need super detail, just a handful of characters (one is not mine, the comic is a gift/thank you/surprise), and basic backgrounds. As for…
What have I done...?
A homeownar iz me...! ... !!! ... Whoa boy....
Because it frustrates me
My last journal? Yeah, that again. The newest of these things just started, and as quickly as my interest was piqued, it is now gone. Good luck to the artist, and hope whoever has already skewed the thing enjoys themselves. Oh well, I needed to save money anyway.
Those $$ = lbs things
I must say that I'm enjoying the $1 = 1 pound of growth things that several people have started (Whatinsomnia, Kihu, DigitalDuck), and I must admit to have contributed a decent amount to Henry, Anton, and Parry. I really like being able to direct where my poundage goes. That said, the very nature o…
Help!
I can't stop watching/listening to "You'll Play Your Part"! (More 3 princess harmony plzkthnxbai)
A Friendly Comment
After the wave of movement from FA to Weasyl, things have quieted down. Some of us who made the move have held true to the reasons, like me. I won't be going back to FA for quite some time, which has really hurt my opportunities to get commissions simply because very few people advertise their open…
Imposter Warning
It has come to my attention that someone at Futanari Palace by the name of "Furry_Futa" is impersonating me and using images of Iridium without my knowledge or permission. I have asked them to stop and I have asked the site's admins what i can do to ensure that they do stop. Hopefully they will com…
