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

Karyoplasma ,

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

sbv ,

And it's definitely "multi"

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

Hugh_Jeggs ,

That and those oscillating electric chisel things

ooterness ,

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

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

Transform2942 ,

That's what I thought!

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

-Dr Who

Simon ,

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

PiJiNWiNg ,

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 ,

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.”

Plavatos ,

The tool helps you Deu Sex.

AlolanYoda ,

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 ,

You should. It's a good game.

TheControlled ,

Yeah you are OP. I've been watching lol

Willie ,

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

How unprofessional.

One of the best video games ever made.

A dozen options; not good at any.

Fedizen ,

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

gnutrino ,

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

Sidhean ,

Mustache but frown is funnier.

Omega_Haxors ,

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.
