Peanut Butter the dog speedruns Gyromite at Awesome Games Done Quick 2024.
The twice-a-year video game speedrunning and fundraising live event Games Done Quick has been a source of amazement and joy for years, but we're still saying "that's never happened before" even now, more than a decade after the first event.
Case in point: Awesome Games Done Quick 2024, which is streaming live 24 hours a day this week on Twitch, saw the very first speedrun performed by a dog.
A Shiba Inu named Peanut Butter (shortened to PB, also a speedrunner term for "personal best" finish time) completed a 30-minute speedrun of the 1985 Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) game Gyromite.
