i mean, there's the gameplay abstraction of item names, which the Lapidary seems to be aware of and seems to put emphasis on, in a similar way to how the Steward puts emphasis on quality names here. that could also be read as coincidence, though.

but, yeah, it'd be easier to section those sorts of things off as just an isolated fourth-wall break. but where's the fun in that, when one can do to quality levels what undertale did to save files? :3
