as many of you understand: the timer starts when the fade-to-black transition starts after pressing play. I've made the decision to change this one more final time. it doesn't make sense to me to time you for that part of the game you have no control in. so, in order to fix that, the timer will now start as soon as you spawn, as indicated by your crosshair in the UI appearing. that is the exact frame that runs will now begin being timed. this is something I should've had in place since the beginning. thank you all for your patience. all runs will be retimed ONE LAST TIME today, and then no more changes will be made to the timing rules (almost certainly).
