Open question: How do you tend to react to finding out that someone has blocked you on social media (whether here in the fediverse or elsewhere)? * Do you shrug it off? * Does it prompt you to change the way you speak/act, in order to prevent it from happening again from someone else? * […]

It's been a bit since I posted any new comment (or reply) here on Mastodon since I've been busy with other things, but: I wanted to remind everyone that I have a #Twitch channel, and that I typically stream on Tuesdays and Thursdays after 7 PM (US Central time) […]

Going live on #Twitch now! It's Tuesday, and that means _Super Animal Royale_ with new weekly challenges. Watch me explore the game's recent "Bright Future" update with new NPC quests, limited-time weapons, and more. twitch.tv/IntaglioWhitegraven

This afternoon, I was working on my presentation style for my "Deal or No Deal: Furry Edition" panel at the upcoming #FurryFiesta2026 . Think of it as more of a rehearsal, so I can get used to tabbing between windows while still accessing the right information behind the scenes. As I was […]

For anyone who's into #numismatics and especially banknote (paper money) #collecting , I manage a channel on Telegram called "Intaglio's Money Musings" where I share details about the subject. t.me/IntaglioMoneyMusings I posted a new slideshow of photos there today, describing my […]

I'm contemplating setting up a #PiHole server on a Raspberry Pi 4B that I'm not using for very much. If anyone is using this on their home network, could you please give me tips on how to install and how to properly use it? It seems like I'd have to have the Pi turned on constantly in order to […]

#WritersCoffeeClub January 5: How do you choose the point of view for a new story? Almost all of my fan fiction was written in first-person POV, as it allowed me to capture the character's inner thoughts and perspective more intimately. That being said, several of my stories have switched POV […]

I suppose I should take a moment to appreciate the irony of what I'm about to say, given how I often respond to other people's posts: There's an inherent risk in sharing one's personal opinions in any public setting. There will almost always be someone out there with a different/opposing […]

Attention, #technical people of the fedi-verse (and I figure a lot of people on my own instance might have this knowledge), I'm looking for some feedback. Recently, I noticed a problem with my home #network where I'd lost the Ethernet connection on my home desktop PC. And the unmanaged 8-port […]

I know that #Deltarune chapters 3 and 4 were released earlier this year. I played chapters 1 and 2 a few years ago, and enjoyed them quite a bit (much as I had enjoyed #Undertale years prior). I'm interested in buying the game -- and especially after attending a Deltarune fan meet-up panel at […]

At the risk of asking a stupid question: Does a computer (provably) function slower when it's been powered off for an extended period (weeks, months)? I've felt like this on several occasions when turning on old computers for the first time in ages, but I'm unsure whether it actually takes […]

An open question: With so many new games (whether on PC or console) getting released every year, how do you pick-and-choose which ones you want to buy/play? I recognize that there are numerous genres of games and that not all genres will appeal to all players. But if you had to be selective […]

How is it that I keep forgetting I have an account here? I like the conversations here better, but it's been hard for me to give up #Twitter because that's where I still find all my favorite furry artists. Many of the artists I follow on Twitter have migrated to #Bluesky , but I can't justify […]

I am very irritated right now. After about an hour in a support chat and another half hour on the phone, I've reached the conclusion that my #Apple account (which I've had for close to 20 years) is locked out and unrecoverable. I'd enabled a Recovery Key on it (as part of a two-step […]

Today, for the first time since buying the game back in February, I launched #RedDeadRedemption2 for the first time. Immediately it downloaded the Rockstar launcher (which is something I never wanted in the first place) and forced me to create a #RockstarGames social club account (which I'm […]

For anyone who still uses #Twitter / X: Do you find, on desktop, that the page typically lags (10 seconds or so) before allowing any of the menu buttons on the left to be clicked/responsive? I notice it consistently, and it's because I always go to the "Lists" menu (because I have all my […]

It seems I haven't posted anything new on here in the past two weeks. Granted, #StratosFur planning and execution took up about a week of that, but still, Mastodon feels back-burner in comparison to some of my other social media. I wonder if I'll ever actually start following accounts in the […]

So, #FurryFiesta2025 just finished up this past weekend and I was home from it on late Sunday night. This marks the sixth time I've attended that con, but this year was the first time I applied for staff. Though I've traditionally told myself I would never staff another con other than my home […]

Several social networks (most prominently #Twitter) once offered some kind of "verified" mark for accounts that proved that they actually were who they claimed to be. Imagine a social media made up exclusively of "verified" accounts, i.e. those of enough significance to merit being […]
