Skills/Stats can be changed by some stuff that directly changes them, or indirectly by some sort of EXP system which affects some Skills/Stats.
The EXP points are different per skill and get increased by certain related actions, e.g. the Cycling EXP points get increased by driving around on a Bicycle. Once the EXP points have reached a certain amount (different per EXP points value), the associated skill gets increased and the EXP points get reset to zero.
While Skill/Stats themselves get saved/restored properly when you save/load a game and set to default values when you start a new game, the EXP points get reset to zero when you load/start a new game, except for the Lung Capacity EXP, Cycling EXP and Max Health EXP, which simple stay the same and carry over.

Kind of awful run (I know, speedrunners often say that). More stupid than usual police on Gate Crasher and some bad RNG in some other places (e.g. the truck taking a slower route during Riding Shotgun after getting stuck). A few smaller but annoying mistakes like messing up the rocket strat at the end. Still saved 2 minutes mostly due to new strats and not getting a tire shot on Home Wrecker.

I recorded the commentary shortly after the run, but didnt get to finishing/uploading it for a while, but I think it might still be interesting.

Some silly mistakes, could save more time still, but overall pretty good. Definitely more satisified with this than not.

The start could be faster, the turn onto the motorway was a bit bumpy, did it on Normal by accident, but overall pretty decent.")
