Thanks for the video, links and thoughts on items, interesting to think about!
ps: I love Ukuleles, thats hilarious that they are an item.
I just did a blog post going into more details about ideas I have on compassion I think you might find interesting. I am going to edit it now to add in a comment you just made!
Also, you should join the discord for real-time discussion about features & items as they are in development.
