this would be such a cool system to put into a game to make players want to use items instead of hoarding them for the whole game. imagine how much less stingy people would be with their items if there was a god complex sadist impgirl type creature who you can make bets with about how many attempts it'll take you to defeat the next boss, further incentivizing you to give your all in your early first attempts for the chance at an even higher reward.
during bosses, if you use a lot of heals but not many consumables, she scolds you for being too afraid to use the fun stuff.
if you use a lot of consumables, the next time you talk to her she cant look you in the eyes and she's really sweaty and breathing heavily and keeps crossing her legs while shes standing. it goes without saying that if you try to romance her at this point she gets grossed out and returns to normal
