Headline 3 years from now: “Huffing Steam Deck vent fumes linked to increased risk of cancer” (Only when done habitually)
Ads: “Have you or a loved one huffed Steam Deck fumes? You may be entitled to compensation.”
Valve: Goddamnit. You fucking addicts couldn’t stop huffing the vents. WE FUCKING TOLD YOU! It’s safe for normal usage. NORMAL usage. Not heroine addict levels of usage!
Steam Deck
Steam Deck with OLED screen
Steam Deck with aromatherapy cartridge slot
Finally, FINALLY we can have… not the smellovision nickelodeon promised us… but something SUPERIOR!
Aromatic Gaming!
swift cut to gamer playing HL2 on his Steam Arom-OLED Deck, actually wretching and vomiting when Gordon gets to Ravenholm
Hrm… I wonder what GMANs time stasis pocket dimension… smells like.
Hrm.
Ozone, maybe?
Stop making it smell so damn good and maybe i’d think about it
you can’t make me, gaben
How do you guys cook your fumes?
I crank up all the performance settings and keep Ling’s website on 24x7. Nothing makes a more decadent fume than running state-of-the-art portable gaming hardware on shitty web code. Can’t beat the high off of Steam Deck engineers’ imaginary tears.
I’m imagining this in the ProZD hydro homies voice about before and after you discover an online community for a hobby.
Don’t besmirch the good name of Ling’s Cars like that, it’s like a lighthouse in a sea of corporate blandness!
This “article” lacks any attempt at explanation for that sweet sweet Valve plastic smell. I feel like the index has the same flavor. Maybe their component suppliers?
Yeah it’s honestly not really an article, more like a summarised and paraphrased version of the Reddit post it came from. But I thought the headline was pretty funny
stop making it smell so good and i will
I thought I’m doing this to check how hot the steam deck runs. It’s just so convinient to tilt it and check with the nose… But now, after reading the article, I’m not sure I’m not addicted to the fumes!
That’s hilarious
It made me laugh when I saw it pop up in my news feed
I had no idea that people other than me were doing this.
Even this makes me want one.
Asking steam users not to huff valve’s fumes, that’s a tall order.
Just a few drops of essential oils into the vents while playing some demanding game and all your worries will fly away!
Who needs essential oils with those vents?! Bout to make a Bane mask outta Deck vents.
If they didn’t want me sniffing it, then they shouldn’t have made it smell EXACTLY like my first PC. Until then I’m huffing it like ashy larry hits the pipe.
Me to Valve: make me
