Bonus Vid & Updates!
🕑 Added 2025-06-03 20:47:53 +0000 UTCHey everybody, some fun updates for you as we kick off summer.
First, as seen in the link above, a lil bonus video that I'm dropping for all Patrons (free members included!) by way of my podcast Crub: Wonderful TGB and Crub supporter TK Hubworld reminded me recently that I have a Playdate - the little yellow handheld console with a crank instead of a joystick - and since the company behind Playdate is releasing a new "season" of games, I wanted to do a weekly-ish book club and talk about 'em/show 'em off. We'll be continuing this on the free "mailing list" tier of both TGB and Crub, so if you're interested in getting free updates for that other brand of side content I do, it's free to follow Crub's Patreon as well!
Paid members should get access to a fun video early tomorrow: Sony's PS3 Webcam Trading Card Game, that they made with Wizards of the Coast. This one's pretty close to done, but I had a really dumb idea for a live gag a couple days ago, and the item I needed to finish said bit just came in the mail a day late. That might not be mega Patreon early vs. public drop, because I haven't decided yet how I'm gonna handle the next bullet point in relation to this...
On 6/5, as early as possible, I'll be putting out a video exploring which, if any, gaming cameras work on Switch 2 by way of adapters: EyeToy, Kinect, the Wii U Gamepad, a fucking PS Vita, etc. Even if none of them work, the structure of this vid is already kinda mapped out and will be fun to explore. But you never know if others are doing the same idea in as much depth, so that one's coming quick. The part I haven't decided yet, is if I should put the PS3 Card Game vid out tomorrow or sit on it; there's valid arguments that the algorithm would like either option. Either way, premium Patrons will get an ad-free version of both, and get the TCG vid at least a bit early. (There also may be a Thursday evening stream of Switch 2 stuff in general, if I'm not dead tired from the overnight crunch.)
After that, I've got two other vids that I'm sending to two of my wonderful Crubcast Cohorts edit, to free myself up and get ahead on vids for July and beyond - and hopefully give you guys a whole slew of earlier-than-ever early vids.
I'll follow up with premium members hopefully next week to figure out a date for this month's Patreon Discord hangout; my schedule's a little funky because of TooManyGames at the end of the month, but we'll iron it out. If you're a free member and want to toss a buck to get some of this early content, access to the Golden Cult Discord server, etc. - it's so greatly appreciated! Only do so if it doesn't put you out in any way though; even just being here as a free member is more support than I could ever ask for.
