      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?

    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!

    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

    My Steam Deck doesn’t have the smell anymore, but when it did I knew it was unhealthy to smell it, yet I did anyways. It didn’t even smell good. It was just impossible to resist.

    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!

    I guess I’ll have to add this to my upcoming Steam Deck Owner Simulator game.

      Release it on steam deck but just make it a blank screen since they’re already experiencing owning a steam deck
