None, in nearly all cases it's unnecessary. The games that could make use of automated routing often involve complex logic which would make the implementation take more effort than it's worth it.

The Boots of Blinding Speed are not used in Morrowind speedruns. The high speed is achieved with a weapon swap glitch(only present in the 1.0 version of the game) where swapping between two weapons quickly will apply all of their buffs permanently to your character. This is done with two story related artifacts that happen to buff all sorts of useful stats, including movement speed.

That sounds like a deeply boring speedrun. What's the time on a patched Morrowind?

I don't understand what point you were trying to make by linking to a wiki article of a single incident that happened over two decades ago?

Bit off-topic but I don't think the "Cultural Differences" dismissals are unique to Japan; One of my friends from the US will often try to explain disagreements away with "must be different over there" and other similar statements. It's endlessly infuriating.

In the US, that roughly translates to "I'm tired of this conversation; go away".

Depends. It could be, "let's agree to disagree and still be congenial."

Apart from the specific Japanese language specifics, I didn't read anything that I wouldn't expect in more than half of the American companies that I encounter outside of SV. There may be differences in how prevalent these things are, but I can't really use this account to draw conclusions about that.

...Think I can see what you mean.

The hell kind of question is that? Of course I'd rather eat a piece of fruit!
