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.

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.

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

That's what I thought!

Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee · 6 pts · 2y

That and those oscillating electric chisel things

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.”

The tool helps you Deu Sex.

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

You should. It's a good game.

TheControlled@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Yeah you are OP. I've been watching lol

Pandantic@midwest.social · 3 pts · 2y

So, a sonic screwdriver?

Willie@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

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

How unprofessional.
