I can’t believe I’ve had an original idea in wanting a face system monitor. The face would change, skin color, eye size, ear flapping, mouth screaming, whatever, and the user could configure it how they wanted.

I think I’d tire of it quickly, as badly as I want to see it. I don’t even know where to start with coding anything more than some bash scripting.
