Cop: Come on, come on. Let’s see them.

Adam: If you don’t want any surprises, you might wanna be more specific.

Cop: shut, up, clank! I want your papers, not your opin- Fuck me. We do not want trouble. There is no need to start any trouble, yes?

Adam: …You sure you don’t wanna see anything else?

I love Adam’s suggestive tone, like was he seriously joking about exposing himself to a cop oh my god oh my god

how have I not encountered this particular dialogue before someone please draw Adam walking around Prague in nothing but his trenchcoat and flashing cops

Shit dude. That fanart is making me think of a sort-of AU where Koller secretly achieves what the Church of the Machinegod couldn’t and he manages to back up his consciousness as a contingency plan, knowing that he very well could get taken out by the Dvali. Only he maybe manages to upload his consciousness to like, every cloud/ peer-to-peer system in existence, so he’s pretty much everywhere all the time because he’s a crafty little freak genius like that and it’ll make it easier for him to get revenge on Otar/Radich.

So maybe one day Koller just….pops up in Adam’s infolink like “Jensennn!!. My favourite techno-wunderkind!! I NEED A FAVOR ‘cause I kiiind of don’t have a body anymore” and of course Adam thinks it’s a very not funny prank at first but then he slowly begins to realize what Koller did and it’s just like…..super bittersweet because Koller is always with him now but…Adam can never touch him again

So something that confuses the crap out of me when it comes to the arm/hand augs in Deus Ex – more specifically Koller’s and/or Jensen’s –

We know Jensen’s augs are composed of polycarbonate materials, or at least that’s how they’re described in the tie-in novel. But like would there be some sort of artificial epidermis covering them? (There’s an ebook in Human Revolution that glosses over this, but I’m too lazy to go look it up right now)

But the reason I ask is because the [presumably] capacitive touch screens in the game respond to their touch. Think that little phone thing that Koller’s always swiping at, the screens at the train station – namely the “naturals only” screens which are designed to respond to the touch of a fleshed hand but also respond to Jensen. Unless they’re using resistive touch screens in the future like a bunch of troglodytes when resistive touch screens are absolute piss and a thing of the past, so I doubt they’d roll back technology to accommodate mechanical augmentations, especially with the general climate concerning augmented people.

But then considering how polycarbonate is used a lot in electrical components because it’s a good insulator, capacitive touch screens couldn’t possibly work because they rely on the conductive properties of your fingertip.

And also we clearly see that Jensen is able to wipe steam away from glass and, well, you can’t exactly do that successfully with a polycarbonate/non-porous/non-absorbent surface. But I’ve spent a lot of time closely inspecting his hands in the game and they just look like a metal/plastic surface? Like it doesn’t look anything like there’s an epidermis of any kind there and, well, I kind of need to sort this out if I want to write porn okay pls help
