How did a jokey Reddit post of a screenshot of a support response turn into every site covering this like everyone is doing it and Valve is pleading everyone to stop?

Because "journalists" gotta get those clicks

Next year: New Steam Deck rumored to have an essential oil compartment.

Same energy as "Do not lick your Nintendo Switch cardridges"

[-] tpyo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I didn't know that was a thing until I saw a reference like this a couple years ago so looked it up.

Believe you me I immediately grabbed two cartridges and asked my kiddo if they'd like to lick one. They're very bitter

Jokes on them I didn't hear about the vent fumes until they asked me not to huff them now I've been sniffing erryday.

Would smelling an Xbox 360 controller circa 2009 have a similar carcinogenic effect? Asking for a friend

[-] squaresinger@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago

That's a good vintage. That one is fine. But it will make your baby smaller.

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ok that’s perfect, got a vasectomy

[-] squaresinger@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

That makes the babies even smaller.

It's sad times when the game you're playing currently doesn't crank up the fan/heat enough to get a good hit from the vent.

The rumor is that the fumes are carcinogenic, so I ain't trying regardless how good it could smell

[-] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Meh, I've done worse

gaben says: “smell that stank, idgaf”

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

well lucky for you it don't smell good no more

[-] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I have noticed that it starts to smell like normal warm electronics over time. Kinda disappointing to be honest

[-] Sensitivezombie@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

Oh damn. I guess back to sharpies then.

Sniffing the deck is baby town frolics...if you're a real man, taste a switch cartridge
