It hasn't changed the way it looks for over a year! But it doesn't look shrivelled up or obviously dead! Its round, about 3inches wide and 4 inches tall--somewhat barrel shaped, and deeply ridged

One way is if it is all shriveled up. Another way is if it's all squishy and mushy at ground level. It's almost impossible to kill a cactus unless it didn't get enough sun, or you over-watered it and it has root-rot.

If it's still green then it's still alive. Cacti are very slow growing plants, and I mean very slow. They take several years to reach maturity and then they don't seem to change at all for a long time. Some flowering cacti take years to flower even.
So if it's still green, I wouldn't worry.

Poke it with a pin. If it oozes a little it's alive. Cactus plants are weird.

I think it is still alive if its not shriveled, brown and dead.

You answered your own question. It would be mushy and or shrivelled. But they are very tuff plants.
