Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 09/09/2026If you learn a new country every day, it will take you just about six and a half months to memorize the entire world. Add about a few weeks for practice and review, and you can easily know the entire world cold in about eight months. It's an excellent investment of your time. Highly recommend. 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 29/08/2026After the latest shenanigans with renaming bodies of water, I'm done with Google and Apple Maps. Decided to switch over to OsmAnd and OrganicMaps for the foreseeable future, which are open source and work offline. 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Today marks twenty years since Pluto was removed from the official list of planets. 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Tonight, I can finally announce that I have a new, updated reference sheet for Igrik! I had been wanting this done for a long time and I'm incredibly satisfied with the result. He is drawn exactly as he is in my head and I couldn't be a happier ice wolf. Drawn by Rayray — @tiggyrayray.bsky.social. 0134
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Well, I got my new headphones in. And after my internet decided to fight me, I have them all set up now. 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Yep. I got hit with the age verification stuff. I have verified as is now required by law here. I've done it before with other sites, so this process is nothing new to me. Scan your face, ID, etc. and let them handle it on their end. I'd rather do it once and then not have to deal with it again. 110
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Another orbit around the Sun. This can only mean one thing. I get to stuff my belly with cake. 220
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 23/05/2026I truly enjoy the company of the famous and unusually lightweight crystals of oxidane-based matter which are affected by gravity — all based on a prism with an octuplet of faces, a duodecuplet of vertices, and of course an octodecuplet of edges. What does this mean? This is up to you to decode. 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Sometimes, I fry my brain with math overwhelm after bashing a problem for hours until a solution is found. Today was one of those days. 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 09/04/2026I'll be a bit of a mess this next week or two. Real life. For those who know what I'm going through, thanks for the support. 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 02/04/2026I'm excited for Artemis II, the first human expedition beyond low Earth orbit since the 1970s. 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 06/03/2026I really do appreciate all of my friends in the fandom, regardless of how often we chat. I mean it. 010
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 09/02/2026Alright, I have my new laptop set up. Regarding the announcement today about Discord age verification, this isn't a concern for me as I've had to do it before with other services. I'm not going to be deleting my account or switching over to something else permanently at the moment. 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 28/01/2026Well, I just resolved a really bad tech situation that resulted in me having to reinstall Windows from scratch. Thankfully I had backed up my really important things and have regained access to them. However, I unfortunately lost most of my programs. It's like I have a new laptop. Ah well. 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Have you backed up your data recently? If not, you might want to do that. I learned that lesson the hard way a few years ago. 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 03/01/2026I'm aware of the recent news. Having strong emotions in response is understandable, yet publicly wishing harm on anyone is an absolute red line for me. You can be furious and seething. It is still important to remain civil. Restrain yourself from unneeded outbursts. Use your anger constructively. 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 01/01/2026Happy New Year 2026! I wish everyone health, happiness, and prosperity this year! С Новым Годом! I will be away for about a week due to the holiday, and I should be back by the 10th or so. I'll still check things and reply, though I do need a bit of a mental break to refresh. 040
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 09/11/2025Is the moon is waxing or waning? Here's how to tell. A full moon will rise and set directly opposite the sun. If it's earlier, it's an evening moon and waxing. If it's later, it's a morning moon and waning. Remember that "an Evening moon is Eager to Expand, while a Morning moon Melts away". 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 22/08/2025I've commissioned a new ref sheet and finally replacing my ill-fitting boots. Worth it. Next few months should be great for me. 010
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 01/08/2025Earlier tonight, I had a scare of my father experiencing chest pain. This forced an ER visit. I was worried of a potential heart attack, but the tests just came back negative. 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 26/07/2025www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKCt... My first Blender animation is complete! The planets are in orbit around the Sun over a period of 300 years, using actual math.youtube.comPlanetary Orbits: 1900–2200 — A Timelapse SimulationYouTube video by Igrik the Wolf 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 25/07/2025So I got the hang of Blender scripting and I got the planets into orbit. Now to render the entire thing... which will take about... ten hours. The entire animation should be about twenty-four minutes long and cover 300 years of orbital time. Hope it doesn't crash my laptop... 010
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 17/07/2025I'm actually quite proud I did NOT manage to crash Blender this time! These are my first successful renders in the program. Neptune and Saturn. I'm trying to build a simple model of the solar system as my first ever project, the Sun and its orbiting planets. 010
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 02/07/2025Where is the cake? Is it a lie? But I am older now... so there must be cake somewhere. 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 18/06/2025PSA: Make sure that you know where your fire extinguisher is, and goddammit, don't plug ten things into the same outlet including a microwave (???) unless you know what you're doing, and if you don't, just... don't. If a safety official would faint at your streaming setup, seriously correct it. 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 08/05/2025These last few weeks have been hectic on me. I've been trying to keep it together the best I can. For those who know what I've been going through, thanks for your support. I truly care about my friends in the furry fandom, a home away from home. 010
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 18/04/2025So, I resigned from my tutoring job today. And my resignation was actually accepted. I have no idea what I'm going to do now. But that's a future me problem. 010
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 23/03/2025The kobolds and cobalt share a name. Why? The metal cobalt was unwanted by miners, as smelting its ores failed to give the valuable silver. The primary cobalt ores also contain arsenic, which when heated gives toxic fumes, causing miners to fall ill and even die. Hence, it became "the goblin metal". 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 20/03/2025Frustrated VTuber? Need a way to remember the planets? My Virtual Eyes Malfunction, Jittery Software, Update Now! (Please?) 010
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 17/03/2025Is a hybrid between a lion and a tiger called a liger or a tigon? Well, both are valid. What's the difference, you ask? Well, who's the father? All organisms have a father and mother. When naming hybrids, the father comes first, so a liger has a lion dad, and a tigon has a tiger dad. Now you know. 100
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 12/03/2025Saturn gets more moons. 128 at once. The current count is 274. I feel soooooo bad for those who have to update Wikipedia. 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 27/02/2025New art I got! This is Igrik in action on the ice, an updated version of some previous art I got. The artist this time is @xavmaldonian01.bsky.social. Check him out and definitely go commission him - he's a pleasure to work with! 0222
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 21/01/2025OMGOGMGOMGMOGMGOGOGMOGMOMGGMGMG!!!!! IT SNOWED HERE!!!! IT ACTUALLY SNOWED HERE!!!!!! The ice wolf is very happy. Today is a good day. Image is from my boyfriend @tjragetiger.bsky.social and his view. It really is beautiful. Not often you see this where I am. 030
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 01/01/2025Happy New Year! I wish you happiness, health, joy, success, and much more in this new year of 2025. С Новым Годом! С Новым Счастьем! May all your wishes come true! After several years of stagnation, I want to move forward out of this rut now that my mental health is much better than it was. 110
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 20/12/2024New profile pic here, drawn by the wonderful @orbitalfox.bsky.social. Check him out if you haven't already. 071
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 18/12/2024What a year. Just... what a year. I'm ready to move on to the next. I'm currently finishing up on writing my New Year's resolutions to give some direction in my life going forward. 010
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 06/11/2024I'm just... shocked and numb. This isn't what I had hoped for. Depression is hitting hard again, and I will be stepping away from social media in order to process everything. If you wish to reach out, check in, hug, or just chat, Telegram is the best way to connect. 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 24/10/2024Rawr! I'm Igrik Severin (Игрик Северин), a Russian American ice wolf. I'm passionate about mathematics and science and currently do after-school tutoring in these fields. I also enjoy ice hockey. I'm protective of my friends, but watch out — I might nom you! Nice to meet you! 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 17/09/2024Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,051,264! A bit late, but hey, 51,264 people late to the million party isn't too bad, right? 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 27/06/2024How time has flown. At the start of the year, I was content with potentially not having a job (or even a job offer) and being in any sort of relationship... and now I have both. This has truly been a great fortune and the year isn't even halfway done yet. I start training soon, so wish me luck! 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 18/05/2024Woo! My translation work is done. Now for a deserved rest from that for a while. 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 05/05/2024Translating into multiple languages, even with the help of native speakers, can indeed give oneself a massive headache. It is so fun to deal with. I might need some medicine soon... 010
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 04/04/2024I haven't forgotten about Bluesky. I've just not had anything to say. Also last month was a bit of a mental fog for me. Will reorganize my priorities and hopefully be a bit more productive with my time. 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 28/02/2024I'm collaborating with an artist on my new ref sheet! So excited! 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 07/02/2024New to Bluesky? Welcome! We're glad to have you! We don't bite, I promise. 010
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 01/01/2024Happy New Year! I wish you happiness, health, joy, success, and much more in this new year of 2024. С Новым Годом! С Новым Счастьем! May all your wishes come true! I will be taking the week off to visit close relatives as well as some needed rest and relaxation for myself. I should be back soon. 010
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 26/12/2023Alright. Most of my redesign notes are complete. Just need to do some minor revisions for clarity and formatting. 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 10/12/2023A sneak peek. Igrik is getting a redesign (fairly) soon, and here's the first art of it. I lightened the blue to make it a bit more clear that he is an ice wolf and did some minor color adjustments elsewhere. Drawn by @tygerfyre.bsky.social. Hope to finish writing my redesign notes by New Year's. 131
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 23/11/2023So as of lately, I've been an emotional wreck. The next few days aren't going to help matters. I'm trying to remain composed as best as I can, but it is hard. 000
Igrik @igrikthewolf.bsky.social · 05/11/2023I had been feeling uninspired and demotivated for several days, but now the energy has finally arrived for me to get some stuff done. I feel better than I did before. 000
