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.

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 months ago

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 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Transform2942@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago

That's what I thought!

[–] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 6 points 7 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 7 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?

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 7 months ago

You should. It's a good game.

[–] Plavatos@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

The tool helps you Deu Sex.

[–] TheControlled@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Yeah you are OP. I've been watching lol

[–] Willie@kbin.social 3 points 7 months ago

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

How unprofessional.

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 3 points 7 months ago

So, a sonic screwdriver?

[–] FaizalR@kbin.social 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Who is Deus Ex?

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 13 points 7 months ago

One of the best video games ever made.

[–] dingus182@endlesstalk.org 3 points 7 months ago

A dozen options; not good at any.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago

So it's just a fancy hammer

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 points 7 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 7 months ago

Mustache but frown is funnier.

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 1 points 7 months ago

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

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.
