We're now timing full game runs without loads!

Thanks to a program shared to us by one of our community members (shoutouts to daft7), we're now able to consistently time runs without loads, thus evening up the playing field between the OG Xbox, the Xbox One, and the Series X/S!

The program to do so can be found here: https://github.com/nickbrick/SpeedrunLoadRemover

At the moment, if you would like times submitted loadlessly, you will need to either upload vods on Youtube (so I or another mod can download it and mark down the loadless time) or take your own recording and time it yourself (if so, include a link to the picture in your submission). If you're not able to do either, feel free to have your time with loads marked as a loadless time; some time soon I'll try to figure out how to download vods from whatever source.

For the time being, all current PBs have been converted to loadless times (where possible); obsolete runs would be a lot of effort that might not be worth it in my opinion.
