I was writing about me... ๐ณ Lol
I was just making a joke, didn't mean to steal your valor
Nah you good I was making a joke off of your joke rofl. Besides I'm too broke to afford cocaine.
I've got a trick for that. Find some people selling cocaine, then ask to become a dealer (you have to gain their trust thru a weird little minigame of some sort) then when they give you the cocaine pretend to go out and sell it and then just do it all yourself.
Literally flawless strategy
I hope it's a fishing mini game.
I was thinking of the oblivion wheel, but sure
I only remember the lock picking mini game from those games and as someone that can pick locks, as long as it's not that, it should be fine.
I wanna learn lock picking. Got any advice? How much should I spend on a kit? What should I look for? What should I avoid? I live in Europe ATM and I hear we have thinner locks, do you recommend any specific brands or something ?
Sorry for the bunch of questions, but the subreddit for lockpicking hasn't been very good beyond "this brand good" (us specific brand)
So I don't do it a lot and I can only occasionally get passed security pins but the rest covers like 70% of locks though.
But first, skip the cheap sets on Amazon. I hate how they feel, both in the hand and in the lock. I got my last set from Sparrows so I'm about to shill them. I was very impressed with the ones I got.

These are a bit more but you get a bit more: https://www.sparrowslockpicks.com/products/tuxedo-lock-pick-set
I started with the cheapest padlocks from Wally World. Master and clones, I forget what the model are but look for stuff with 4-5 pins and no security pins. But also pick up something cheep with a security pin like a spool pin. They aren't impossible when starting out but they are a challenge. Brinks makes a lot of cheap ones with security pins.
But, really just watch a few videos so you can understand tensioning and setting pins. Also have fun with raking locks. It's not as satisfying as single pin picking but it's fun.
If you do get into the hobby, ebay will often have lots of padlocks for cheap. You get a variety to play with that way.
There is a subreddit for the hobby and one of the best Youtubers is The Lockpicking Lawyer.
That's pretty much it. I'm not super into it but I do it on occasion and can get into places. I helped my neighbors get back into their house twice so far lol. You will also get the urge to replace your front and back doors with locks with security pins. Defiant are really cheap and they tend to come with like 2 security pins and don't advertise it. That was a pleasant discovery when I tried our front door lol.
Thank you! Saving this for when money comes thru.
Genuinely appreciate the effort you've gone thru writing this for me, incredibly gracious of you โฅ๏ธ
No probs lol. I'm not an authority on it but I know some stuff and I have the autistic urge to share info of things I like lol!

Hey in exchange here's me rambling about something I find interesting https://hexbear.net/comment/5558207
The powers we hold to infodump on an unsuspecting person is real rofl. I'm so bad with directions, I could almost say GPS on phones saved my life. Or at least it gave me the security of knowing I won't get lost 99.9% of the time.
Same. I could get lost in a phonebooth with an atlas.
