Okay, but how does that definition not precisely describe a tool?

It sounds like it very much is a tool, in the exact usual sense of the word.

[-] meekah@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago

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

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

And it's definitely "multi"

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

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

[-] ooterness@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Transform2942@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

That's what I thought!

[-] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year 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.

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 1 year ago

You should. It's a good game.

[-] Plavatos@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

The tool helps you Deu Sex.

[-] TheControlled@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah you are OP. I've been watching lol

[-] Willie@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

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

How unprofessional.

[-] dingus182@endlesstalk.org 3 points 1 year ago

A dozen options; not good at any.

[-] Pandantic@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

So, a sonic screwdriver?

[-] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 13 points 1 year ago

One of the best video games ever made.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

So it's just a fancy hammer

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Sidhean@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Mustache but frown is funnier.

[-] gnutrino@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.
