Bit of a long shot, but I might as well ask after all this time if the seasonal Deadman Mode timer is enough evidence.

The timer ticks down from 5h55m to 5h54m at the 20-second mark, but surely that can't mean the recording started only 4 minutes and 40 seconds into the world, judging by the leaderboards and the fact the Swampletics series indicated random events operate on a 5-minute timer. Suppose the character creation screen and whatnot counts towards it, which I don't have evidence of.

I don't remember if I used Skippy. So much is lost to history at this point that I don't mind what decision is made, if any. I just thought it would be interesting to discuss before the speedrunning game mode is added.

Obviously this video wasn't created as a speedrun submission. Just a bit of fun.
