My garage has found a new solution to the problem of an appropriate gender-neutral salutation that works for all customers. It's 'Legend'. All communications start "Hello, you absolute legend." I mean, it's no less or more sincere than 'valued customer'.

We are also weirdly bad at recognising how certain games have been influential OUTSIDE the west. The whole adventure games/visual novels genre started from Mystery House! Dungeon crawlers exist, as a genre, because people in Japan got really into the original Wizardry!
