Śląskie, PolandRamon boss fight skip. Nice one, man! Slowly this run stops sucking.

Thanks for making me read a huge wall of text.
I actually wrote the autosplitter for Draqu, who constantly forgot to split in some places. And since I was writing it, I decided to add load-remover there as well, just because the memory was kind of clean and reliable in PureFaction, not requiring to do almost any pointer scans.
Splitting is done safely, based on changes of level names, which may require kind of big operations related to reading from memory, but that should not be an issue with burst mode. The autosplitter itself writes down which splits it already done, so it doesn't split twice in case a player loads the save from previous level.
The reason for it splitting late on the last split (bomb defuseed) is that - firstly, I didn't want to take forever finding a value in memory that may (or may not?) say that the bomb has been defused and secondly - I already had a reliable way of reading whatever Bink movie is being played (pre-rendered cutscene), so it was only obvious to me to go with a safer and easier way of doing it.
If No-loads time is to be used, it's only obvious it should be used together with RTA, with both times visible at leaderboards, as done pretty much everywhere where it's used (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
As for the reason for using no-loads is not only that the load times differ between different PCs, but also - they differ between once-loaded and never loaded level in current session. Not to mention they can differ even if level was loaded once in current session (as it was a case with Hitman: Absolution).
With all respect Pac, I really dislike the new navigation bar. It takes way too much vertical space - sorry. :(

I'm really enjoying this feature :)
I think it was this video:
And then from it I've found runs of Half-Life, Oblivion, Morrowind... finally led me to finding SDA. From that I did some experimentation, some individual level runs etc. And about a year ago, I got myself interested in Twitch, slowly getting more and more in single segment runs.... and this is pretty much where I am now.
