I'm trying to speed run the game, but my disc crashes every time I try and skip a cutscene, which is crippling when the speedrun is 16 minutes, and the opening cutscene approaches 4 minutes. I was wondering if you would permit me to pause the timer during the cutscenes, since you skip them anyway? I would show the timer on the recording, and press play as soon as the cutscene ends. Thank you very much, I'm excited to add to the Cluefinders speed running community.

Hey BeanBoy, excited to have you! I think if you can't skip, it's fair game to pause time during cutscenes. Maybe leave a second or two of leeway, to account for the confirm dialogue you have to click through to skip them normally? Anyway, should not be a problem. Super excited to have you running!

Sounds good, I know there is some dialogue that is unskippable, and I'll make sure to take those into account and not pause the timer. Also couple second wait sounds good. Thank you!!
