Yeah you are OP. I've been watching lol

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 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.

The tool helps you Deu Sex.

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

How unprofessional.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Mustache but frown is funnier.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

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

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

You should. It's a good game.

So, a sonic screwdriver?

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.”

One of the best video games ever made.

Also known as proto Edriseur v2.4

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

-Dr Who

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

And it's definitely "multi"

[–] [email protected] 38 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

A dozen options; not good at any.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

That's what I thought!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

That and those oscillating electric chisel things
