The company behind Portal, Half-Life, and Steam isn’t amused by all the vent smellin’

    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.

      It’s a bit sweet. Not to the full extent of 3D printing PLA but it’s in the area.

      Interestingly, the Valve Index scent is almost exactly the same as the Steam Deck vent scent, just the Deck’s air is heated. I remember the Steam Controller box also smelling like this.
