Writing Prompts

The developer is talented but lacks the confidence to complete their work. Out of desperation they resort to the 'easy way out' and develop demos to scam supporters with no intention of shipping a finished game. Can one supporter whose belief in them/blackmail be enough to change their ways and finish what will undoubtedly be a smash hit?

in 2300 ? ... the worst global warming scenario does not say what happens after global population has collapsed.

SCENARIO (for 2300)	PROJECTED GLOBAL WARMING (°C)	CO~2~ CONCENTRATIONS (PPMV)
RCP2.6	0.0 to 1.2	360
RCP8.5	3.0 to 12.6	2000

i like the book series "Foundation" by Isaac Asimov where he describes rebuilding after collapse.

Not gonna share my AO3 handle but I get a fair amount of praise for my stream of non-human consciousness bits so (if it's your jam) I really encourage you to take a deep dive into sensory and processing differences between you and the animal you're attempting to depict. Its fascinating (or I'm a huge nerd lol).

As a semi-related example, a dog can have difficulty seeing a yellow ball against green grass due to red-green colorblindness, so you could also write an angry epistolary to just get a blue fucking ball already because nobody can fucking see that Jared.
