Episode 131 - A Conversation With Peanut Butter, The Video Game-Playing Dog (And His Human, JSR)

In this episode...
--> We're joined by streamer and speedrunner JSR to talk games, collecting, and mostly about Peanut Butter, his shiba inu that gained fame for doing a charity  speedrun of Gyromite at AGDQ 2024.
--> The head of Amazon Games says bringing artificial intelligence into game development is a good idea because games “don't really have acting" anyways.
--> Concord, PlayStation’s new 5v5 PVP first person hero shooter that released last week, has launched with under 700 concurrent players on Steam, worse than both Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and Redfall. Way worse.
--> In its latest bid to save itself from oblivion, GameStop has announced the opening of GameStop Retro stores.
--> Also: Top 3 New Releases, doggo saying hello!
