“Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing Steam”
“it’s a big company with lots of games in its store. But that’s not important right now.”
“And Leon’s getting larger!”
Johnny, what do you make outta this?
What’s Steam?
JoeyJessica, you like movies about gladiators?thisbenzingring, you ever been to a Turkish bathhouse?
Wait a minute, I know you! You’re Kareem Anonymouse Jabbar! You post comments on lemmy!
I’m sorry son, but you must have me confused with someone else. My name is Roger Murdock. I’m the co-pilot.
It’s an online storefront that sells video games, but that’s not important right now.
Oh so now it’s the forbidden fumes. That’s even more tempting
I honestly never even wanted a steam deck…but now I kinda do just to huff the fucker.
Yo, I got a deal on Switch cartridges. Hit me up.
Literally tasted one within minutes of getting my hands on it.
Mine lost the smell after a month or so and I’ve been thinking of cracking open a fresh one ever since.
Is this your tide pod moment?
Aww, okay. I’ll just have to go back to licking Switch cartridges then…
Those are coated in bitterant and taste terrible
I had no idea this was a thing until one day I was swapping games or something and temporarily held it between my lips. I didn’t taste it right away so I didn’t immediately link it back to the cartridge, but I mentioned it to the SO and she enlightened me.
I fell for a trap set for children and pets.
It just means you need to find the right combination of other flavours to add to balance it out.
Weak, try a 9v. Little sour.
Steam Deck owners to Valve: No.
As a Steam Deck owner, I find the whole exhaust air thing hilarious because it smells like nothing but warm air to me. But others seem to have drastically different descriptions of it.
Mine didn’t have a smell, but don’t know how long that lasts, so maybe i was too late for the new deck smell.
Bet you checked that spilling twice huh
Overflowing with spilling checks?
Don’t sniff your deck hole
I don’t like the idea of a company telling me what I can and cannot smell. My father smelled potentially hazardous fumes, and his father ‘fore him! We will not submit!
My forefathers used canaries. Make a bird smell your Steam Deck vent.
I was hoping someone would get the reference 🙂
Try and stop me 🤗
I’ll steal/adapt a weird argument about eating animals:
If Valve didn’t want people sniffing Steam Deck fumes, they wouldn’t have made them smell so good.
Gaben spoke, and people listened.
Don’t tell me what to do!
For real though, it smells nice so it’s probably pretty toxic. For some reason everything that smells or tastes good but isn’t food ends up being toxic as fuck. Like lead and plutonium. I’ve heard lead is sweet (I was smart enough not to eat the wall candy growing up), and plutonium apparently tastes like sour candy. The deck is probably shitting out super fenta-cancaids fumes that’re gonna shrivel our sex bits but it doesn’t matter because it smells divine.
Damn you Gaben with your super fenta-cancaids!
It’s probably off gassing aromatics from the molded plastics parts. Anything aromatic (in an organic chem context) is possibly carcinogenic. Past that its semi-volatile phthalates and other possible additives and light volatiles that may be off gassing especially from the unit’s heat generation/dissipation.
Offgassing testing is common (think new car smell…Yeah unfortunately that’s carcinogenic too, but we’re testing for stuff now). I’m pretty surprised they didn’t either invest in the right types of plastics that wouldn’t have potentially toxic emissions…unless they did and didn’t care until someone noticed and spread the word.
Mmmmm benzene
no it’s not toxic, they have regulation for that, even valve said the the fumes aren’t toxic, put they aren’t going to say that people can smell it because some dumbass gonna burn their nose lol
everything that smells good but isn’t food ends up being toxic as fuck
Wondering if this applies to the edges of laser-cut plywood… (like, momths after cutting)
Probably, since wood dust and wood smoke are both carcinogenic.
I still like smelling wood smoke though.
Bro is that why they named the candy warheads?
WTF is wrong with people?
i dont understand why but the smell of fresh electronics and cars is soo good. I read somewhere that its the glue off gassing and could cause a mild high and at high enough concentrations or time lenght brain damage. yay
Bro smell a freshly opened pack of cards from MTG or any card game. If they use the right stuff it’s like crack. Shit smells so good.
Videogame cases used to do it too
WTF is wrong with you?
he just told you.
too much glue make brain go bad
Ya don’t know what y’re missin’, man!
Smell good
🦍
These people are why Nintendo have to coat their Switch games with a foul tasting substance.
Well, that was specifically for the young kids of these people, but yeah.
People huff freon. This doesn’t surprise me a bit. Nothing like a little ozone and chlorine I guess.
People huff freon.
Okay, but the freezer smells good
Who would have thought that maybe sniffing fumes out of anywhere could be a bad idea
I have an old early 2000s mp3 player that still to this day has an inexplicable sweet orange/citrus scent that emanates from the audio jacks, even when not in use.
That’s the Funk
This reminds me of the bingo markers with scents. Loving the almond one. Still long after the markers have dried out, they still smell like that.
Probably really chemical since the new ones seem to smell less strong.

…even the drier vent? 😭
What does it smell like?
God’s vagina.
Thank you, SatansMaggotyCumFart, for the hilariously accurate description
He would know, right?
if anybody knew, it’d be him 100%
Well I’m convinced l, I’m buying a steamdeck!
I bet it smells like burnt plastic and carcinogens
Kinda like a box of new shoes but warm.
I tried too hard not to take this headline literally
If they didn’t want me to sniff the vent fumes, they shouldn’t have pointed the vent nearly at my face.
They really wrote a whole ass article about a single screenshot.
This is journalism in 2023.
Look. The warm air feels excellent on my frozen nose. Let my dumb stoner ass enjoy it okay?
Dude weed lmao
