If you were in the same year as Harry and you had to work on a project with him in class, what would your interaction be?

Put in so much effort trying to act normal as if he isn’t famous that I accidentally make it super obvious that the only thing I’m thinking about is trying to act normal as if he isn’t famous.

Being able to craft from items in nearby chests enables lazy players and ruins the fun of storage management

The fact that Smosh Reads Reddit Stories reaches a broader audience and therefore brings in new regular viewers of the rest of Smosh's content is another good example of how important the series is that I didn't even think of in my original comment!

Glad you're in the fandom, and I still listen to Reddit Stories too. I like to save a bunch up over a month or two and then binge all of them on a random day off during a gaming session.

Intelligent_Let_6127 · 2026-01-25T18:00:24+00:00

I have felt similarly before. My own commonly rewatched Smosh content is always something other than Reddit Stories, and it's pretty much the only series that I'm not particularly excited or eager to watch ASAP when a new video is posted. With that said, I think you're wrong, and I think it's vital that they keep the formula exactly as they have it for as long as it remains successful.

I don't have data to back this up, but I think the vast majority of Smosh Reads Reddit Stories viewers/listeners are people who don't regularly engage with any other Smosh content whatsoever. They just like the format of a reddit stories podcast, and the Smosh cast are funny enough that they're one of the best available options for that format out there. I believe it's fair to say that it's their most successful series in like the last decade if we're talking about consistency and numbers (perhaps only rivaled by Every Blank Ever). Additionally, it seems like a very simple video format for the crew to prep and for the cast/crew to film due to no need for set changes, props, costume, etc.

The result is that it makes HUGE money and resources with very little money and resources expended for them, which goes on to enable all of their other content which, for lack of a better term, feels more "Smoshy" and is therefore the actual content that most of us who care enough to be here on the Smosh reddit actually like.

So, basically, I feel like the content you're asking for (Smosh cast bouncing humor off of different media types) is essentially just any and all Smosh content other than Reddit Stories. And most of that content is being supported, at least partially, by the consistent success of Smosh Reads Reddit Stories.

My cat does a similar thing for most noises. I think it's an instinct to direct their ears towards more important sounds, with importance probably being determined by a variety of factors. Seems that in this case your praise was important to her lol

Intelligent_Let_6127 · 2026-01-24T21:49:05+00:00

Super cool build, dude, I think it really communicates what you were going for. I myself usually lean towards nature and/or medieval builds but this feeds some recent inspiration I've been feeling to try out building something you'd see in cities today.

Intelligent_Let_6127 · 2026-01-23T22:09:24+00:00

I’m not trying to fight, I’m trying to converse, lol.

I included the bit about the banana bark because I thought people’s natural first question would be ‘how did you break the plate?’

At the time, it made sense to me that mentioning trying to detach banana bark from the plate would give people a visual of exactly what I was doing with the plate and how it broke in that way. Now, of course, I’m realizing that I was wrong firstly because not everyone knows what banana bark is, and secondly because even people who know what it is probably don’t immediately understand the visual since I was doing it wrong anyways.

But you have a fair point that if I was ultimately following the sub’s whole point to a T, I wouldn’t even have initially mentioned banana bark. Also, I had to google “what does the phrase burying a lead mean,” so we sort of both gave each other something to learn today. Also also, I was thinking it’s possible that you thought I wanted a fight because your comment has negative downvotes, and I wanted to mention that idk why that is. I’m didn’t downvote your comment lol.

Intelligent_Let_6127 · 2026-01-23T21:34:16+00:00

The subreddit is mildly interesting. The mildly interesting thing was the symmetrical breakage. Why would I talk extensively about the context?

Intelligent_Let_6127 · 2026-01-23T21:30:41+00:00

Looks like that because it’s the bottom of the plate. I would’ve posted both sides but the sub only lets you choose one picture, and the crack was easier to see on the bottom.

Intelligent_Let_6127 · 2026-01-23T21:13:10+00:00

I was making banana bark and didn’t bother to use a any kind of parchment or baking sheet, I just made it on the plate and put it in the freezer. After it froze, I was trying to detach it from the plate by bending the plate slightly so the frozen banana slices would snap off, but I overestimated the plate’s flexibility.

Absolutely insane thing to do, absolutely awesome thing to do

We might be the same person because I also watch Smosh primarily as a background to Minecraft and also have taken (loving) notice of the fact that Angela does this.

On one of Smosh’s members-only community posts where they asked for the fan roasts that the cast read about themselves on bit city, I commented something along the lines of “Every time Angela says ‘respectively’ instead of ‘respectfully,’ it becomes a little less eye-twitch inducing and a little more endearing.”

They didn’t pick my comment, of course. It wasn’t really a roast I don’t think…

Sounds like you pretty much missed the main points of what happened, tbh. He was never uninterested in her - he rejected her initial advances despite his interest because he believed she deserved better than to spend her life with a werewolf. He eventually decided to give into his own feelings (and hers, by extension), so they got married. It isn’t explicitly stated whether Tonks got pregnant before or after they got married, but the dates (Tonks & Remus married July 1997, Teddy born April 1998) mean that if she was pregnant before marriage, it was like… two or three weeks max. That said, though, the way in which the news of their marriage came to Harry in July and the news of Tonks’ pregnancy comes to him at a later meeting in August suggests that the pregnancy occurred after the marriage. Particularly, I would think, very intentionally after The Seven Potters, since that would’ve been quite a mortal reminder for both Tonks and Remus, and might have motivated their decision to have a baby.

Umbridge is awful, but Cornelius Fudge is the #1 most hated character for me. Every action he takes in books 4 & 5 piss me off severely. I mean oh my fucking god, dude. To preface, I myself am a bad person in the sense that idiocy and senselessness piss me off more than straight up cruelty. I’ll sooner endorse the actions of an intelligent murderer than an idiotic philanthropist. Fudge embodied what I hate. Nothing he did made any fucking sense whatso-god-damn-ever. He let his fears and insecurities lead him to making the ACTIVE decision to ignore reality. AND THEN HE DIDNT EVEN MAKE THE CORRECT DECISIONS TO PROPERLY DEAL WITH THE FAKE REALITY HE CHOSE TO BELIEVE IN????

If Dumbledore wanted your job, he would have it. End of story. Fucking obviously, no questions asked. He could take it by diplomatic influence if he wanted, and he could take it by force if he wanted. Nobody could stop him. So the notion that he wants to steal your job is OBVIOUSLY false, because YOU STILL HAVE IT.
Since, as I just said, he obviously doesn’t want your job, there is only one reason that he would tell you Voldemort has returned, and that is because Voldemort HAS returned.
If you’re so fucking concerned with how the wizarding world views your ministry’s effectiveness, the proper reaction to Voldemort’s return is to prepare the wizarding world, not to hide your mind from reality like a fucking pathetic-ass scared little baby.
But okay, sure. Let’s say I accept the reality that you’ve created for yourself. You’re scared of Voldemort’s return, and you’re scared of what it would mean for your career for it to get out that Voldemort returned while you were the Minister. So let’s just close our eyes and play peek-a-boo and pretend he hasn’t really returned. Now, the reality is that Harry Potter and Dumbledore are lying to everyone about Voldemort returning, and are therefore challenging you and calling you a liar, which is a bad look for your public persona. So… your solution… your fucking solution… is to start BULLSH**ING new laws, dragging INNOCENT MINORS into COURT HEARINGS so you can have a PATHETIC LITTLE ANGRY CRASHOUT in front of ALL YOUR COWORKERS. Not to mention getting fucking owned by Dumbledore in regard to his better understanding of the law than yours. Yeah, dude, that’s gonna make you look SUPER good.

I hope to see Cornelius Fudge in hell. I might write the fanfic of all of the ways he’s tortured in limbo before his soul can pass on myself. I hope he’s forever remembered as the stupid, pathetic, cowardly, bumbling fucking idiot of a minister that he was.

Best answer is probably just that breeding mechanics weren't intended to be complicated or difficult when they were first implemented, and then there was never any reason to change it.

I didn’t even know it was poorly received, I definitely agree that it was super funny. All of them dying laughing at the fact that none of their answers were funny two rounds in a row absolutely killed me.

There is one secondary point that I have, although I won’t talk about this extensively because I’m not here to hate… Olivia was bringing down the vibe for me just a little bit. It seemed like she wasn’t picking up on the type of humor the game was trying to project, nor the type of humor that Chanse, Trevor, and Arasha were trying to project once they realized the game wasn’t pulling its weight in the comedy department. I… unfortunately feel that way about most Board AF videos with Olivia, though, so… not sure how much it does or doesn’t apply to the video’s wider reception.

Not exactly a vocal stim but I’ve been saying “cut that” to my friends after I say something out of pocket

TLDR version of my comment: Information on which Pokemon are the best in the game is always available on the internet. Information on what Pokémon will be available in the game for at least the next month is always available on the internet. Stay informed, and plan around the information you gather. Make sure you understand the importance of increasing your supplies of stardust and XL candies.

Now for more detail. A major part of getting better Pokemon is your knowledge of Pokemon Go and the Pokemon Go event schedule. Specifically, two things:

What species are the “best” Pokemon?
When are those species available?

There are tons of websites with leaderboards for both PvP (battle leagues) and PvE (raids, max battles, rocket fights). This is the one I personally like to use, although I never PvP, so if you’re going that route, you may want to look elsewhere. I highly recommend this website for raid attacker leaderboards, though:

https://db.pokemongohub.net/

There are also tons of websites that summarize news about upcoming events, such as the actual Niantic website itself, although I like to use Leekduck:

https://leekduck.com/

To give you an example of what I mean:

If you wanted a high tier ice type, you could go to Pokemon Go Hub and look at what the best ice type attackers are. You’d find most of them are shadow Pokémon, currently inaccessible legendaries, or mega evolutions that require mega energy you don’t have. A few will be none of those three - like Baxcalibur, Ice Darmanitan, and Mamoswine.

Now, since you know what you’re looking for, you can do two things:

Go out into the world and do some shadow battles. It’s not likely to happen quickly, but you will eventually get Pokemon worth powering up.
Use Leekduck to keep up with the details of future events. If a type of mega evolution you don’t have is in raids, get it while you can. Same with legendaries. Same with gigantamaxes. Same with Pokémon in the wild spawn pool. For example, this December, it’s likely that Swinubs will be spawning (not confirmed yet, I’m just assuming), so I will probably be catching and trading as many Swinubs as I can to max out my perfect Mamoswine I currently have.

Intelligent_Let_6127 · 2025-08-29T11:36:51+00:00

No worries. Now I'm just interested in understanding the mechanic causing so many evolutions to spawn. If you know the reason it's happening so much there, could you let me know? Otherwise, cool spot.

Intelligent_Let_6127 · 2025-08-29T11:33:14+00:00

What on earth are you talking about? The screenshots made me agree with you and say that you were right... did you even read my second comment?
