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

Stop making it smell so damn good and maybe i'd think about it

How do you guys cook your fumes?
I run 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!

That’s hilarious
Baku@aussie.zone 11 months ago
It made me laugh when I saw it pop up in my news feed

You’re not the boss of me steam. Just keep the supply moving, I need my good good

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?
Baku@aussie.zone 11 months ago
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
tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I had no idea that people other than me were doing this.

stop making it smell so good and i will
MamboGator@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
modifier@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Even this makes me want one.
SrTobi@feddit.de 11 months ago
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!
Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Just a few drops of essential oils into the vents while playing some demanding game and all your worries will fly away!
MrBusiness@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
Who needs essential oils with those vents?! Bout to make a Bane mask outta Deck vents.
ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I guess I’ll have to add this to my upcoming Steam Deck Owner Simulator game.
Feathercrown@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Release it on steam deck but just make it a blank screen since they’re already experiencing owning a steam deck

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.
Dexx1s@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I don’t own a Steam Deck nor have access to one…but now I want to sniff one. I must know what it smells like!
thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
It’s got that ‘new-tech’ smell blowing out of the cooling vents in spades… it’s legitimately pleasant!
XbSuper@lemmy.world 11 months ago
WTF is wrong with people?
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 11 months ago
For better or worse, I never quite understood the Steam deck smell. My sense of smell lacks the ability to smell a lot of things, so I’m guessing I’m just unable to pick up on whatever makes it so appealing to people.

What does it smell like?
averyminya@beehaw.org 11 months ago
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.
neocamel@lemmy.studio 11 months ago
Ahh ok I know the smell of pla quite well, thanks!

Dear Valve, stop telling me what to do. And no, I won’t wear a hat on a windy day either
fuckstick@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I just Huff my Stream Deck recreationally or socially, I’m not addicted to it I can stop anytime I want
NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 11 months ago
Listen here fuckstick, you’re a junkie and your deck sucking is tearing this family apart

Fucksticks, decksuckers, this thread has it all
