Yea, I actually noticed the difference here too when I watched yours back recently and realized your time would still be a second or two faster than mine. My logic was that the timer starts once you gain control of the character so it would make sense that it ends once you lose control after clicking on the cryo pod. And I feel like that's a standard for most speedruns.

Like you said, the runs should be retimed but since we're running a small game it just doesn't really happen. I agree there should be a specific ending time rule added (once you lose control or the crosshair disappears). I'd be fine with retracting my time and trying for a better one since yours was definitely a bit quicker if we ended at the same time.
