I wish I could stop, but I can't. The gentle warm air breezing past my nostrils, the faint sweet scent of heated silicon filling my lungs, it calms me, soothes my shattered nerves.

I need it, that sweet nectar, the caress of the fumes. It makes me feel whole, like being safe in the womb once again, a rare comfort in this cold world.

Don't know whether to call it getting steamed or getting decked

[–] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago

I will not.

Screenshot of Valve support’s message https://i.kinja-img.com/image/upload/c_fit,q_60,w_645/6fc2e0815202e649889fb88aef85f796.jpg

It just reads like a company not wanting to open themselves up to a lawsuit from someone’s meme question.

It's also just a single support person responding to a single request.

It's not the same as a published FAQ or whatever that at least in theory has a higher degree of purposefulness behind it.

Yes, it's funny how they don't want to support huffing vent fumes, but at the same time they don't want to say that the device they sell is emitting toxic fumes.

Walking a fine line!

I don't think it's really recommended to directly breathe any computer vented air

Do I get a sweet settlement for my time in the server room/my office?

Call now if you're a victim of mechathelioma.

And people somehow still wonder why we end up with stupid warnings/disclaimers on stuff.

Thank you, Sandler.

But it makes me better at gaming.

The next trend after RGB.

Wait until you learn how sweet lead paint chips taste.

You can't take my vent fumes away from me.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

Well, I wasn't planning on it, but now that I know it's an option, I'll be sure to take this up when it arrives!

Thanks for the idea, Valve!

Huffing my steam deck fumes, getting the munchies and eating the single hot chip and washing it down with the panera lemonade.

Don’t forget to leave an experiential narrative on Erowid.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Honestly, no I will not stop. Been doing it on my Thinkpad and will continue

I have a pretty bad dust allergy, so I avoid electronic exhaust as it’s usually high in dust. But I had to admit the warm air feels good blowing on your face when you are waiting for something to load.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I can stop whenever I want ... BUT I DON'T WANT TO!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Now I want a Steamdeck even more dammit

Aside from the idiot fanboy crowd, who has data?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Literally 1984, don't tell me what to do you gosh darn liberals!
