Who sniffs at his Steam Deck's exhaust?

[Timoh]

Me. Anyone else?

I did it too. Can’t get enough of those sweet, sweet fumes.

I keep doing it. I'm sure it can't be good for you, but I just keep doing it. Smells like... I don't know... efficiency? The fresh smell of a well made product.

I dont have mine yet, but I did that with the Switch and I loved it, so I'm pretty sure I will do it with the Deck as well once I finally get mine :)

Valves going to have to release a statement/include something in the packaging telling people not to do this to avoid future lawsuits.

Shouldn't be harmful ... or? So that's the actual reason I'm bald now. Figures.

jokes aside, it can be actually harmful:
we arent supossed to smell those chemicals (mostly fumes from hot plastics, and some dust particles). bad for lungs, and therefore other stuff like the brain. usually we wont be affected if theres good ventilation in the roon, but if not, the bad quality of the air can help induce headaches in long sessions.

baldness could only be related only if you are already sick of other stuff, so i think its unlikely, lol.

only if similar warnings are included in desktop and laptops, and only if the legal definitions in the deck dont include them already. i think they are safe from legal action if people like to smell plastic and pc component fumes, lol.

i also think smelling a little in the first days, usually, wont curse you with cancer or some crazy disease. most people like to smell their products, including books (the smell of a new book is probably result from the glue and ink, andmaybe a little from the paper).

That's true, but we also aren't supposed to eat lead, yet we still have a little bit of it in most of our veggies and fruits. Still, I wouldn't recommend overdoing it with the sniffing.

Guess it's more of a genetic thing, started 15 years ago.

yep, but thats pollution, not a "dose for fun". and even if its pretty bad in food, most of the lead pollution is consequence of the bs the oil industry did a few decades ago.

maybe, but even if you have some, changing your diet and doing stuff to avoid too much stress are supposed to help. just try to avoid the tasty fumes, lol

All the time.

You can't judge if you never tasted one, that's how it goes these days.
