Last bit of testing, but on schedule to release this on Friday for the playdate! I ran with the title UFO Mayhem because it just felt right.

I finally got around to giving Immortality a crack. It's a really impressive undertaking, with pretty interesting moment to moment writing & choreography. I feel like I came away from it feeling like I missed something more substantial within it though. I do recommend it for the cultural value!

So, @jetbrains.com is adding more and more AI tools to your IDE without telling you. I have zero trust left.
Why can't you just tell me so I can disable this?
The spellchecker plugin, hidden in "Other" uses AI, with zero disclosure. I had to go to the website to see it
