Thanks man, found it. Killed the guy again. Had an idea for the future that'd increase the players quality of life.
When pressing shift while looking at an item in your inventory, make it show your currently equipped item in that slot ad well. Like for comparison so people can have them side by side to compare and equip the better one without having to re-equip items to check stats.
P.S. I really love the game. Super trippy and made me laugh a lot just from the voices oc npcs alone. It's super weird, funny, and scary at the same time.
