Just as a thing, I have a base template for an object, and I create one and complete it for EVERY noun in the game : todo is a thing in todo. It is scenery. The description of it is "TODO.". Understand "todo" as the todo. Instead of doing something other than examining with the todo: say "todo.". I find it’s a good habit to get into to copy this super basic template any time I create an object that isn’t useful but still needs some love and attention.
