Crub

Thank you for seeing us - July crubletter

Added 2025-07-07 21:07:21 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone. We hope you have been well, maybe even great. We'll skip the horsing around preamble and get to what's been up.

First of all, thank you for seeing us at TooManyGames! If you did. If you didn't...what the heck, guys. It's a packed venue with all kinds of...Gamers...so we appreciate you braving the elements to give us a bit of your time. The mood from just about every one of our friends seems to be that this is the last TMG on our personal dockets for the foreseeable future, so you accidentally maybe came to the last TMG crub meetup. There's always a chance that a few of us go independently in the future, of course. For now though, we're tentatively eyeing Momocon 2026 as the next con that the crub collective goes to. Maybe they'll even give us a panel? Could you imagine? That's months down the road, so updates will come much closer to that time. Anyways, we love meeting you all and appreciate that you give any of your time to anything we do on the internet. So, thank you.

CRANKIN OUR HOGS returns after a few weeks of Kevin and Nicco being very busy. If you aren't aware, CRANKIN OUR HOGS is a free Patreon video series where those two check out the Playdate handheld's season 2 suite of games. As always, we stress that these games don't get a lot of coverage, so if you want to see some neat games you can't play elsewhere this is a great way to check them out. We post these on Wednesdays, so expect that again going forward. If not, kick Kevin.

The Thief Gold Book Crub will be scheduled soon, we promise. If not, kick...uh...I dunno, Brody. We host these in our Discord, and if you give us money anywhere you get access to our Crubscriber rooms where these are held. Even if you haven't played the game, you can stop by and just hear us yap about that Book Crub's game. If you don't want to give us money but want to be in the public Discord rooms, hey, check this out: crub.org/join

Speaking of giving us money, we offer a lot of #content each month to those who do. $5 for the video tier for one month can get you hundreds of hours from us. $10 for a month of the audio tier nets you a ton of spoilercasts and the entire run of Podcastémon to date. That's where me (Chris), Kevin, and Justin have been talking about every episode of Ash's run of Pokémon, up to about 130 episodes of the show so far. But...it can also get you Justin eating at Super Nintendo World for 7 minutes. We didn't ask him to do that. He just...did that and sent it to us to send to you. He ate "Bowser's Fireball Challenge" or something in a white t-shirt. That's brave. In the future we'll also have a new episode of "Boolatro" where Nicco actually played Inscryption instead (?), the actual Spyro 3 level tier list (don't ask), and perhaps we're about due for another ridiculous bracket in the near-ish future...

It's been a bit of a lighter month for us, with most of us recuperating from TMG and getting back to living normal lives again. We've been going "Hey, we should stream more" for months, and we just might stream slightly more beginning soon. There's this game about climbing or whatever that we're looking to play soon. We've also decided that our Mario Party series might be streamed going forward, whenever we can build the willpower to torture ourselves with more of that. We'll let you know on Bluesky and in our Discord when those are happening, don't worry. Okay, that's my self-imposed "leak" covered for this crubletter. Maybe next time I'll disclose something terribly damaging to our business, like how I write-off post-it notes as a business expense to stay in a certain tax bracket. That would be damaging if one of the 5 remaining IRS employees read that.
