I guess they think tools are just things like pliers, wrenches, grinders etc. without realizing they themselves are the real tools they made along the way

They were guinea pigs. Their "tooliness" is just a side effect of the experiment.

And it's definitely "multi"

I thought it was those folding pliers that have a knife and a screwdriver in the handle?

The monologue is a quote from Deus Ex, talking about one of these electronic gizmos.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So... basically the sonic screwdriver from Doctor Who then?

[–] Transform2942@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

That's what I thought!

[–] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

That and those oscillating electric chisel things

"What is this, some kind of sonic screwdriver?"

-Dr Who

Yeah but why is it disposable though. Plastic waste smh.

[–] PiJiNWiNg@sh.itjust.works 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The world of Deus Ex is one of extreme late stage capitalism, so disposable for no other reason then to make you buy another one tracks... Or maybe it's a liability thing?

[–] Simon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 10 months ago

It's obviously to ensure terrorists can't use them at scale without obtaining crates of the things. They made and sold a reusable multitool once - society almost didn't recover.

Not to critique too hard, but the woman shouldn’t look angry, she she should be looking in the distance thinking, “these fake boobs weren’t worth it.”

Man, I was enjoying Deus Ex, but I ended up dropping it halfway through. It wasn't even a decision to do so, I just stopped playing due to being busy and being in a frustrating part in game (I don't even remember where or why, last I actively remember is Hong Kong, I think, but I don't think I dropped it there). Maybe I should try to finish a playthrough soon

[–] scrion@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

You should. It's a good game.

[–] Plavatos@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

The tool helps you Deu Sex.

[–] TheControlled@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Yeah you are OP. I've been watching lol

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 3 points 10 months ago

So, a sonic screwdriver?

[–] FaizalR@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Who is Deus Ex?

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 13 points 10 months ago

One of the best video games ever made.

[–] dingus182@endlesstalk.org 3 points 10 months ago

A dozen options; not good at any.

[–] Willie@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

I know exactly what she's thinking from that expression.

How unprofessional.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

what is going on with the face of the guy in the seat in front of them???

[–] Sidhean@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Mustache but frown is funnier.

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 1 points 10 months ago

Honestly not a bad recreation of the expression in the original with the face of Joseph Manderly.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

So it's just a fancy hammer

JC Denton profile pics have ruined the game for me. It could be the 3rd coming of Christ and I would still hate it for those interactions alone.
