In news that should put a smile on your face no matter how crappy a day you might be having, a Shiba Inu named Peanut Butter has won a game of Ken Griffey Jr. Presents MLB at this year’s edition of Summer Games Done Quick. Not only that, but with help from his owner, the doggo did so in pretty dramatic fashion.
If you’re not familiar with Peanut Butter, he’s the dog of speedrunner JSR_ and has become pretty well known for playing NES games like Gyromite via a control system that seems him provide the control inputs based on treat incentives provided by his human companion. It’s pretty cool.
At this year’s SGDQ, PB stepped up to play a bit of the 1994 NES classic Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball, with the aim of winning one game as Griffey’s Seattle Mariners – thereby accidentally providing a weird side note in the history of baseball’s most interesting team.
