What are your IF Hot Takes and Unpopular Opinions?

354: is about parser v choice

355: not about AI

359-377 are about Dialog, choice narratives and mimesis.

379-381 are about characterization of the PC

387 was split some time ago.

Hot Take: If anyone wants to request a detailed surgical topic split, first, please reconsider because conversations evolve. If it is necessary please provide LINKS to the messages, not just message numbers because I don’t automatically see message numbers and I have to look at the URL that changes as I scroll through a message list.

I also have to consider motivation for the topic split.

It’s one thing if a thread devolves from ZIL to talking about cats where you can say "can you split everything after this message: [link provided] into a new thread titled “cat paws”. It’s another in a “hot take” thread to say “all these AI messages need to go somewhere else” casually when AI can definitely be considered a hot take.

Remember: If you know you are responding in a manner that is off-topic, you can split the thread at your reply. In the Edit Window, change the pencil on the upper left to “reply as linked topic”
