I'm planning on making a tutorial for people to learn how to speedrun the glitched category of this short game. I decided to get a PB while I was at it lol. I'm probably going to stop improving it from here, unless I find a reason to keep pushing it.
I'm hoping to inspire people to at the very least push for sub 7, because it SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO easy, once you get all the movement down.
I don't see any reason to make a glitchless tutorial, since it's all basically just good movement from start to finish with very little amounts of change.
The only real improvements you can make is jumping on Oak with good angles, good turnarounds, and no bonks. Other than that, it's just sharp turns, and timing the jump at the pool correctly.

![Needy Streamer Overload | Nerdy Girl Overload Speedrun WR [7:20.30]
Literally nobody plays this category, so it has only been played by inexperienced players up until now. No disrespect to the other runners or anything, but they just dont have the same level of skill compared to runners who have spent months learning all of the intricate details, and thats fine.
Anyways, I beat the previous WR by over 4 minutes, while mostly freestyling.
And the previous WR beat the record before it by like 6 minutes. So that should say a lot about this category.

![Every DNA Tru Lyricist Self Reference in 2025
From this point onward, DNA no longer exists to me.
Discussing the rules in greater detail:
When DNA Tru Lyricist says “DNA”, “Tru”, “Lyricist” David Phelps, or any word similar (e.g. true, truth, lyrics, lyricism, lyrical, etc), then this will result in adding 1 point to DNA referencing himself.
He technically does mention a lot of other things, such as his albums (best examples being Ripgut(ology), Warlock, and 1 Deep), other personal things in his life, along with VERY frequently mentioning a lot of movies such as Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Cujo, Candy Man, and others. AND he also likes to talk about ripping out organs, killing with specific weapons, killing specific living things, having (forced) sexual relations with his audience (of mostly minors) (and also with the listeners significant others).
Despite all of these things that would make this video likely triple or quadruple in length, I decided to stick to ONLY moments where he says his own name or words closely related to his name.
If a featured artist says any of the words, it will not count as a point, because DNA does not have control over this.
If DNA adds an audio clip with any of the words (including adlibs or random voice clips), this WILL count as a point, because DNA DOES have control over this.
How points are decided (gaining points is bad, btw):
In my half of 2023 video, I counted every individual word as a point (https://youtu.be/leA4Zt_HxCY).
This year, Im only counting each INSTANCE as a point.
For example: If DNA says DNA Tru Lyricist, that wouldve been 3 points in 2023. This year, its only 1 point (mostly for the sake of my own convenience).
Though, depending on what he says and how he says it, I may count it as more than 1. So dont feel confused if you see the counter go up by 2 or more.
Notes:
- I skip a large amount of Random Wreckage and Metaphysics, since a lot of it was cringe. I assume I may have missed some references to himself, but I just cant deal with it.
- The only individual video released that doesnt have a self reference is I See You Freestyle.
Extra details:
- This video only covers YouTube VIDEOS. So I wont count anything he uploads outside of YouTube. This also excludes DistroKid uploads (which usually dont appear well on YouTube). YouTube Shorts or livestreams are also excluded.
With this detail alone, its safe to assume DNA wouldve likely hit 700-800+.
- All videos after June may be out of chronological order, as the methods I was previously using stopped working properly. All videos are still within their correct months. 1 or 2 may not be correct, as some were hard to check (since DNA took down a good number of videos shown). I also stopped receiving notifications after September, so its possible that he deleted songs.
So why am I doing this?
I used to be a huge fan of DNA in middle school and high school. To this day, I still think he isnt really all that bad. He has a pretty decent vocal range, he has many flows, pretty nice speed control, and Id say his overall skill level is at least a solid 6-8/10 (if each song was put in a vacuum).
The problem is when you see his entire discography, and realize he hasnt actually done all that much, especially in the later years.
Most of his music can be summed up to: DNA Tru Lyricist, tru ripsta, [insert horror movie], David Phelps/King David, [insert album name], ripping your organs out, sexual assault, 2 daughters, best ever in history forever, idgaf, and making disses on anyone who so much as calls him mid.
So DNA, if you happen to read any of this, please dont be afraid to branch out into new ideas. It might make uploading a little bit slower, and it might be a little bit harder to think about what to write, but I promise its worth it.
And credit producers! All you need to do is type (prod. [insert producer name]). I bet you wouldnt like it if people didnt credit you, so treat others how you would like to be treated. Thats a concept that is taught to literal pre-schoolers and Kindergartners.
ALL footage used IS fair use and respects all of YouTubes four factors. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9783148?hl=en#zippy=
The work is transformative, and adds new expression and meaning to DNAs music.
All material is factual, and based in reality.
Only necessary amounts of footage is used.
And is a demonstration for criticism, as an attempt to improve the future of the artist.
Any attempt to take down this video will be considered abuse of YouTubes tools and is against TOS, and attempting to falsely copyright strike my video is against the law. Every DNA Tru Lyricist Self Reference in 2025](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/m1sk-sEmUqs/mqdefault.jpg)
![DreadOut 2 | Act 2 Speedrun [11:14]
Beat my previous IL during a full-game run, so I might as well post it as an archive to show how I improved. Though, I only pbd by ~16 seconds lol.
Here is my previous PB for reference https://youtu.be/Yw8F4uYDGZ4

![DreadOut 2 | Act 3 Speedrun [8:27.35]
Overall fairly satisfied with this run. Most of my runs died because the Genderuwo wouldnt stop looking at me....
A portion of the runs that made it further still died because of my setup for the Maung Bodas making it spawn behind me, which sucked a lot. And I got hit a few times, which wasnt great.
And the invisible skeletons were also annoying.
For the most part, other than accidentally fast traveling to the hospital, Id say everything was fairly solid. Wont complain much.
For those wondering:
I added the dead run to show what makes me fail so frequently.
And I start time after running into the door, because thats technically when Act 3 really starts.
Chapters:
0:00 Dead run
0:29 Run start
1:23 Genderuwo
1:56 Running back and forth
3:22 Maung Bodas
5:05 Ruffian Rugged
6:30 Boss fight
8:17 Wrap up
8:57 End
Beat my previous pb by like ~10 seconds: https://youtu.be/PtRfGH8mDRs
Im not sure how to do significantly better, tbh

![Needy Streamer Overload | Cut Wrists Speedrun WR [1:47.51]
WR by like 0.8 seconds!!!!
I really didnt want to do this category because Ksan is so insane in like half the categories in this game. I was originally willing to settle with 2nd place with a very silly strategy I found (which involved the day skip glitch to be used twice lol) (my previous ranking was last place, so I wanted to have a better run)
But after getting a 1:58 with the meme strat, I realized I could actually create a route that would end up being faster.
Unfortunately, using /st/ makes me feel sad, because its the 2nd longest cutscene in the game. But 1st place is 1st place! Figuring out how to reach 80 stress by the end of day 3 was very difficult, and it felt like nothing worked unless I used /st/, so unless theres something I missed that can substitute the need for /st/, then Id say this is a solid run.
