Bugs

 * Love and Hate does not use a higher resolution texture when used by the player, despite one being available in the game's resources.
 * On rare occasions Love and Hate can be found in a filing cabinet on the second floor of the main building in Cottonwood Cove.
 * When dropped, Love and Hate may fall through the ground.
