[WP] indie game developer makes convincing demos, gets funding on Kickstarter then takes off without finishing the games. One day a backer finds and forces them to complete their dream game. (lemmy.ca)

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?

[WP] RCP8.5 scenario → collapse → CO2 decline → world rebuilding (lemmy.world)

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.
