I understand, intellectually, why the official English title of Re:Zero needs to retain the "Re:Zero" part verbatim, and why it sounds awkward to repeat those words in the subtitle. I *understand*, but I can't believe we passed up the chance to call it "Re:Starting Life in Another World from Zero".

Caves of Qud update: Dug through one wall and found myself in a magical realm of friends.
Standing at the bottom of a long hallway absolutely *packed* with tiny purple ickslugs. Almost every single tile is filled by one, aside from the one tile containing their snailmother. (Thankfully, they're all shown in green on the minimap.)

Harrier Dubois and the Princess sit on a swing on a beach in Revachol. The motor carriage lies in a ditch, the church to the west, and the downtown to the east. Before them is a Miracle. The Sevenfold Sunrise, the sun itself split into seven. Perhaps it once was coopted by fascist peoples.
