Peanut Butter, the first dog to ever speedrun a game at Awesome Games Done Quick, didn't set a new record at the charity event but is still a very good boy.

Peanut Butter's owner, speedrunner JSR, trained him for years to achieve this feat, and while he may not be the most skilled gamer, he's easily the best and least "shitty" gamer on the planet.
