    I don’t like the idea of a company telling me what I can and cannot smell. My father smelled potentially hazardous fumes, and his father ‘fore him! We will not submit!

        I had no idea this was a thing until one day I was swapping games or something and temporarily held it between my lips. I didn’t taste it right away so I didn’t immediately link it back to the cartridge, but I mentioned it to the SO and she enlightened me.

        I fell for a trap set for children and pets.

    I’ll steal/adapt a weird argument about eating animals:

    If Valve didn’t want people sniffing Steam Deck fumes, they wouldn’t have made them smell so good.

    Gaben spoke, and people listened.

    Don’t tell me what to do!

    For real though, it smells nice so it’s probably pretty toxic. For some reason everything that smells or tastes good but isn’t food ends up being toxic as fuck. Like lead and plutonium. I’ve heard lead is sweet (I was smart enough not to eat the wall candy growing up), and plutonium apparently tastes like sour candy. The deck is probably shitting out super fenta-cancaids fumes that’re gonna shrivel our sex bits but it doesn’t matter because it smells divine.

    Damn you Gaben with your super fenta-cancaids!
