This term is straight from the video game world. More often then naught we run into the occasional "Scrub" (A bad player who has little to no common sense, but at the least knows what to do) or the "Noob" (A player who is new to the game, has no idea of what to do and is just overall shitty at the game)... However, beware the "Scrub Noob" this player not only sucks at the game but manages to make you want to quit life do to the pure stupidity of their actions. A Scrub Noob has ABSOLUTELY no common sense, and happen to defy all logic in their movements and thinking.
Experienced Player: "What is this guy doing!?" "He just keeps..he keeps on..." "God I can't even explain it!" "It makes no sense!" "This guy makes me want to quit life, what a Scrub Noob"

Get the Scrub Noob mug.noun. Similar to a skill check in TTRPGs, it is an impassable obstacle in a video game that is intended to ensure that the player has enough skill/knowledge/technique to proceed.
Generally used in game design because the player will genuinely not be able to defeat the game's challenges without learning to play better. e.g. Celeste's crystal hearts, non-optional soulslike bosses, etc.
A Scrub Check is NOT the padding out of a game by implementing sidequests, mandatory items, etc., it is rather the implementing of a hard limit/difficulty spike that a player without the requisite skill cannot pass.

Get the scrub account mug.The ultimate failure at life. Opposite of its counterpart Chuck Norris, who rules at life in everything he does. A Scrub Norris just sucks at everything and even when he tries his hardest he still fails. Typical examples include a guitar player that only knows power chords, a person who spams only one button while playing a video game, someone who thinks benching 135 at the gym is amazing could also be considered a scrub norris; you get the idea.
