Elden Ring's hot new streamer is a dog called Yoshi

Move over. Elden Ring's cutest streamer is here, he's a Shiba Inu called Yoshi, and he's better at the game than you are.

Yoshi lives with Twitch streamer MissMikkaa who has been applauded for her challenges like playing games like God of War and Elden Ring with one hand and with a dance mat. She's even played two instances of Elden Ring's Malenia, Blade of Miquella boss battle with a controller and a dance mat at the same time. I've never been happier to be average than I am right now, because as much as I commend MissMikkaa for her commitment, I'm very content to play games the way they were intended to be played.

Here she is besting the Valkyrie Queen from God of War 2018 with a dance mat while dressed like Kratos. To compare, I fought one of the Valkyries and thought "I definitely can't be asked to do that again."

Evidently, some of MissMikka's skill has been passed on to Yoshi. Earlier this week, she was streaming Elden Ring and her character caught the eye of a dragon. Unfortunately, the streamer wasn't at her setup to react to the imminent danger but Yoshi was. Padding onto the dance mat, he moved her character behind a rock to avoid the majority of the damage done by the dragonfire.

Intrigued, he looks at the dragon with what might be pity as the creature is stuck on the surrounding foliage and structures. "ALL HAIL RaDOGon of the Golden Order!" joked one of their fans. "Dogs are surviving dragon encounters on a dance pad and I can't even get past some skeletons in a graveyard smh," added another. Funnily, I remember the Silent Hill 2 secret ending slightly differently.
