TL;DR

Add --pause-on-load to cli, so the game loads into a save in paused state.

What?

Adding --pause-on-load into the command line interface, which will open game menu once the game loads into a save from --load-game <name>:

Why?

--load-game <name> makes it nice to create shortcuts into specific save. I would launch the game, and while waiting for it to load, I would go do something else. Adding this flag would prevent me from missing something happening in game while I'm still away from it.
