A not-all-that-old phone nears retirement

The irony of my realizing I'll need to replace a Pixel-series phone because Google probably won't support the next version of Android on that device is noted.

Two years and seven months should not rate as a lengthy tenure for an electronic device. But for the Google Pixel 5a I bought in late 2021, that span of time is starting to feel more like a career. And in the context of people who feel compelled to buy a new phone every year, my phone might as well be on its second afterlife. The device still functions fine–the 5a’s 5G radio has yet to be made…

So obsessed with data i had to create a whole tumblr acc this is getting out of hand

[knaveofmogadore]

Imagine you're a robot girl (stay with me) and you're made by a corporation right like you're made by a company for other people but like. You're made by a company. At any moment that company could decide that your line isn't profitable enough and they could cut software updates and support as soon as tomorrow. In the blink of an eye the very things keeping you alive stop coming and you've become terminally ill overnight, your only chance of salvation being the thin hope that in the future a niche group of data hoarders or software engineers become obsessed with getting you to work again. You're an object with sentience and a brain and wants and needs and at any moment the Google news feed of the crusty computer nerd you live with could spit an alert across your eyes telling you that you have months to live.

What even happens when the time runs out? Does life continue as normal, but you're sick more and more often? Do the viruses take more and more processing power to fight off as your security protocols fall out of date? Does the world become muted and distant as your compatibility fails? Do you one day just lose your Internet connection forever, a loss so profound that you can't explain it to your human companions? It's worse than a limb, but not quite like losing your mind.

Do you lose function bit by bit, or are you able to scrape by on second hand parts? Bit by bit replacing the pieces of you that fail, all the while living a muted, disorienting existence without the ability to right yourself? Are you more or less of a person now that you've lost touch with the network? Lost your connection to the metaphysical, to you, the divine? Are you eventually bricked after falling behind one too many software patches? Do you fry after trying to take on an update you're not able to even contain, a piece of software so complex and unfathomable that it burns you to a crisp from the inside out

Okay! This took forever, but I'm finally making progress on the next main story in the Android Detective Anthology - The Marked Actor.

I've been a little stuck in making progress on it and ended up shifting to doing character shorts for a bit to get my brain back in gear. Now that the Beat Sheet for my next story is done; I can start making progress on getting the first draft for The Marked Actor finished.

While I'm working on that, I'm also working on having illustrations done for the first story in the anthology - A Robot and a Girl. The first illustration is already being worked on by @anris-resurrection, and I am excited to show you all their work when that's finished. But, I am planning for two other illustrations, and for those, I'm going to need some help to get there. You can help donate towards this project by following the link to our ko-fi. Our current goal is $180 dollars, and any extra funds that end up being donated toward this goal will be going to straight to Anri. They've been an incredible help in bringing the world of this story to life, and I hope to keep working with them in the future.

So please, help us reach our goal.
