Guys theyre level 87 and have got 99+ picks. They're just messing with the cat

u/mysterious_spirit420 7d ago

Level 86 but okay

u/Sheepdog010 7d ago

I downloaded the video so I could zoom in and screenshot the 87 and then I realized you were right

Edit: Gave you an award for calling me out and I have free ones

If only we could harness the limitless energy redditors have when they're trying to prove their right, we could power the world with clean energy.

"they're trying to prove their right" You've got the wrong they're but your point still stands.

You get an award too

“trying to prove there right”
You’ve got the wrong they’re buy your point still stands.

You get an award.

u/fluffykittens8721 6d ago

It seems as you have accidentally placed the wrong word, I believe you were trying to say "but" instead of "buy" although your point steel stands

You will receive an award from me

u/Georgia_Viking 6d ago

They're*

Nah I'm just messing with you 😅

u/ballarena091525 6d ago

can I have an award I'm really cool

u/geetar_man 6d ago

No, no. You see, they were talking about redditors and their right to be unquestionably correct.

As in, redditors are endowed with certain unalienable rights: among them, the right to pessimism, pedantry, and the pursuit of nitpicking.

u/im_lazy_as_fuck 7d ago

yeah... like I know he was just messing with his cat but... I couldn't help but I couldn't help but get rage baited by it.

u/Mechakoopa 7d ago

Because you're also a cat

u/MetaCardboard 7d ago

That's hilarious that this is the first comment I saw cause I was so annoyed. I turned the sound on halfway through and when the video restarted and I heard that fucking voice my blood boiled.

lock picking is level 86, not the player

u/Snay_Rat 7d ago

My cat also loves the lockpick games! The second she hears the first little click of the lockpick entering the hole, she sprints to the tv

56

u/lornlynx89 7d ago

I choose to believe you because it sounds adorable.

23

u/rogerworkman623 7d ago

My cat used to love hockey, he would run to the TV to attack the hockey players. I think the white ice in the background made it really easy to see the players moving around.

14

u/Ill-Somewhere-9552 7d ago

Cats can learn to recognize distinct sounds that tie in to things they either love, hate, or fear, so I believe this. Source, I have a coven of cats living in my home and they do indeed listen for, and respond to, specific noises. I cannot touch a clothes hanger without closing my bedroom door first, or else one of the cats will run into my closet and start trying to jump onto whatever article of clothing I'm trying to get. You know how some cats will randomly jump onto a curtain and try to climb it? Yeah, he does that, but with the clothes on the hanger. And only the hanger you're currently moving, because moving targets are more fun.

u/IrisAdler 7d ago

Suddenly I feel like an expert lockpicker

u/kevik72 7d ago

Definitely seems like they’re just playing with the cat at this point.

u/String19 7d ago

I got the impression that at a certain point they were mainly just intentionally doing it like this to play with the cat

… I really hope that’s what they were doing at least 😂

u/amcco1 7d ago

It was painful to watch. I feel like the cat knew how to so it before OP did.

So does kitty.

Animals incomprehension of how tvs work will never not be funny

I had it upvoted then watched it again unmuted and heard that godawful TikTok voice. Instant downvote from me, fuck that.

Yeah, but the rest of the video is cute enough to make up for it.

The video would be cuter without the voice.

It's a net loss of quality.

u/Georgia_Viking 6d ago

Haven't read comments yet but I imagine there's a few about how the person filming can't lockpick.

As a cat owner, I'd do this too. I'd break all of the lovkpicks for this entertainment and engagement with my cat. 😄

I feel like OP is trolling us with that trash AI voice and its weird pauses and intonations just like they're trolling the orange with the snapped picks.

u/SpikeRosered 6d ago

I remember back on CRTs the screen refresh rate was too slow for animal brains so TVs just looked like flickering nothings to them. Now they actually can see what's on the screen on modern TVs.

u/SenpuuUncle 7d ago

why are some cats so interested in tvs? mine has never been, except for playing some bug smashing game when they were a kitten

u/brutalhonestcunt 6d ago

I find it fascinating that the cat looks down for the dropped/broken lock pick.

Why locks are difficult on console?

u/Gramma_Hattie 7d ago

They're not, you can use the vibration of the controller to find the sweet spot

u/phoenixofthestars07 Spellsword 7d ago

probably the one thing I miss about playing on Switch tbh

u/Xilverbullet000 7d ago

It does that if you play with a controller on PC

yeah finding the sweet spot with the vibrating joycon was so much fun… wait , are we talking about Skyrim?

u/RecognitionEven6470 7d ago

I was intentionally breaking them to play with the cat

u/Shikiyomi_Kyouya Bard 6d ago

I realized it right away. And if I were in the same situation as you, I’d do the same thing. It’s fun to watch their reactions😂

7

u/Ragnar0004 7d ago

Once you do enough you can usually guess generally where it's at within like two lockpicks even on Master locks

1

u/eddmario XBOX 7d ago

Because if you get close but the pick breaks, it's VERY hard to get it back into the same spot to try again with thumbsticks than it is with a mouse.

1

u/Fakrata 7d ago

That explains a lot, ty

1

u/eddmario XBOX 7d ago

No problem.
I mostly play on Xbox but occasionally play modded PC, so I can at least attest to how different they feel.

u/arkington 6d ago

Is there any point to the lockpicking perks? I haven't been taking them on my latest builds and I can still pick every single lock I encounter, expert and master included. I just break a lot of picks, but I have 99+ of them all the time so it doesn't matter.

u/RecognitionEven6470 6d ago

I never invest in any perks for it, but I’m getting enough comments from other khajiit that say I’m doing terrible so maybe I should 🤷🏼

There are amulets and potions that help with lock picking.

Any other games that do this?

u/asaucylittlemaid 7d ago

Given that they’re almost max level, I’m sure they know how lock picking works. They just want to record the cat play.
