Valve Tells Players To Stop Inhaling Steam Deck Vent Fumes

Valve has officially warned against inhaling the Steam Deck vent fumes in an official response due to potential health hazards.

gold_drake144d ago

my god, people are so dumb these days.

shinoff2183143d ago

I read the headline to my girl and she even reacted wtf is wrong with people. People wild

Notellin141d ago

I feel bad for her that she can't read and needs you to do it for her. Keep your head up!

shinoff2183141d ago

Notellin, I've been teaching her 😘

Jin_Sakai142d ago (Edited 142d ago )

This generation is about dumb as it gets.

frostypants142d ago

Huffing things isn't new to be fair.

SavageFlamingo142d ago

This has nothing to do with generations. It’s not a stupid challenge or anything. People just happened to smell it while they were playing. The steam deck exhaust is easy to smell without even trying. Just playing it you’ll smell it in the air around you.

It's every generation, today you just see it more clearly thanks to internet.

k2d142d ago

To be fair, I loved the smell of glue, gas and certain plastics as a kid (new disc cartridges/new hardware, anyone?)

Si-Fly141d ago

Instruction manuals for me, best smell ever 😂

crazyCoconuts142d ago

I actually take a whiff of it once in a while, it's funny that it smells so good lol

DarXyde142d ago

Tide pod fiasco all over again

People have been just as dumb in the past, you just see it clearly now thanks to the internet.

gold_drake141d ago

thanks for that .. insight. ha.

rlow1141d ago

Well good thing about dumb people, they play an important part in human history. How else do we know which plants, animals and foods ar dangerous? Dumb people! They pay the price so the rest of us don’t have to. Lol

FinalFantasyFanatic141d ago

Honestly, I'm not even surprised considering some of the people I come across these days, inhaling fumes would explain a lot of things.

Wow people will huff anything nowadays some people just have way too much time on their hands.

Abnor_Mal142d ago (Edited 142d ago )

Another reason to love the PlayStation Portal, no chance of breathing in noxious vapors.

Get a Steam Deck they said, to which I reply, what are you high?

KwietStorm_BLM142d ago

Were you high when you typed this?

Abnor_Mal142d ago

Sorry bud no Steam Deck here.

FinalFantasyFanatic141d ago (Edited 141d ago )

Even the Steam Deck does streaming better than the Portal (they portal is capped for streaming for some reason, whereas the Steam Deck isn't).

Neonridr141d ago

imagine pretending a glorified streaming device is better than a stand alone unit that can also, stream.

Stand by for the 'gaming kills' articles.
Que Halloween movie theme.

Nucleux142d ago

What does it smell/taste like?

Barlos142d ago

Better than the Switch cartridges is my guess.

Just to be clear, I've never licked a Switch cartridge, nor have I inhaled my deck's fumes.

Profchaos142d ago

Same never licked a switch cart I've always been worried more about where it's been than the taste but

Fluke_Skywalker142d ago

It smells good, that's the problem lol. When I first turned mine on I noticed it 😅
Better stop sniffing it then.

Barlos142d ago

I've had my deck for over a year, I've never been compelled to put my nose near the vent for a good lungful 😂

crazyCoconuts142d ago

I can't explain it... It smells...new

SavageFlamingo142d ago (Edited 142d ago )

Kind of like cheap bacon cooking. Even cheap bacon smells good.

20 Best PS1 RPGs of All Time

Cultured Vultures: Where would the PS1 be without RPGs? It’d no doubt still be a massive seller thanks to bandicoots, clones, and halfpipes, but half the cultural institution it is today? We’re not so sure.

While most of these games are great to amazing, most are not actual RPGs. Faux RPGs if anything. Turn Based Adventure Games for a more apt description, with Diablo, Brave Fence Musashi and Star Ocean as Action Adventure games.

Again, all great games without a doubt.

Diablo IV is Available on PlayStation Cloud Gaming - Beats Xbox to the Punch

Diablo IV is now available to play via PlayStation Cloud Gaming! Still not available to Play on Xbox Cloud Gaming.

We ran our script again and found 15 other PS5 games (a lot of popular ones!) that got PS5 Cloud Gaming support within the last month as well.

Not for me, I'm 100% physical media all of the time.

jwillj2k41d 9h ago

I hate that I have to keep calling this out, but your physical disks mean nothing if the game code attempts to connect to a server prior to playing.

Hugodastrevas1d 9h ago

And that happens when? I'm playing completely offline here, stellar Blade to be more precise.
I'm sorry but I've never run into that imaginary problem you're talking about, I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it has never happened to me.

jwillj2k41d 9h ago

You not running into the problem yet has no bearing on my argument. You’re acting like the medium is the shield for you being able to always play your games when it effectively is not. The game code itself can try to connect to a server or the console you’re playing on may receive an update that requires that game to connect to a server. Just because you haven’t ran into it doesn’t mean anything lol you don’t own your games no matter how you try.

Hugodastrevas1d 8h ago

So I have never run into the problem you're talking about and your answer is an hypothetical? Look I can play any game of my library offline right now without issue.
That issue is in your mouth and alone.

Crows901d 4h ago

Actually...there's an easy way...don't connect. If it doesn't require a connection and you don't connect...the code can't update...obviously....confused why you don't get what he's saying.

outsider16241d 3h ago

Hold on..lets say i dnt have an online connection, can i atleast play the game offline though. Was thinking of getting this

jwillj2k422h ago

None of you use your brains.

OK, let’s explore this playing offline. not talking about Diablo specifically just gaming in general.

Are you going to buy two PlayStations? One offline one online? If not, moment you want to play something that requires a connection you’re cooked.

Does game experience you love so much stay the same offline?

Is the game even playable offline?

The whole point of my argument is that we don’t hold the keys anymore. The gatekeepers are the developers and console makers regardless of whether it’s digital or physical. You altering your play style for a lesser experience is not a workaround, it doesn’t solve the overall problem.

None of this matters since the move to the cloud is inevitable.

spicelicka1d 12h ago

So you have to buy the game and can only stream to the PS5 devices using PS plus premium? What is the point of that. Much more useful when you can stream to other devices.

MrNinosan1d 12h ago

Works great on my Portal while at work 👍

spicelicka1d 10h ago

That's streaming off your PS5, not from the cloud. This is specifically referring to cloud gaming.

CrimsonWing691d 12h ago

Can’t you, uh, do this on your phone?

Tacoboto1d 11h ago

Sony doesn't yet have a web or app-based solution to stream games off their cloud service, the closest you may be able to get would be Remote Play if they allow cloud streaming during a Remote session.

And yes this applies to the Portal too.

Einhander197216h ago(Edited 16h ago)

Tacoboto

Please stop talking about PlayStation Streaming, you don't know what you're talking about.

I just explained this to you the other day where you were telling people that remote play was their only cloud solution, because apparently you didn't understand how PlayStation Premium works even though PS Now was a thing since shortly after the launch PS4..

You can stream to PC and Mac, and they had mobile clients for it in the past but probably for the same reason Microsoft is fighting Apple and Google PS Now wasn't allowed on App stores. Which is why it's not on iPhone and Android still.

And to be honest, I am glad they are trying to keep it on the console, all their moves away from the console seem like a step in the wrong direction, which isn't working so great for Microsoft...

anast1d 11h ago

Blizzard is shoving this game everywhere. Diablo 4 is going to take an even bigger hit soon. Path of exile 2 is coming out and it looks insane.

Crows901d 4h ago

Well they're about to release the next season...I think that might be way they're pushing the game again.

anast14h ago

I mean I get what you are saying, but D4 isn't doing that well either.

UnbreakableAlex1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

I completed it on gamepass. Thanks God I dint pay it full price. It plays like a lazy mobile game. I am not a pro diablo gamer (Diablo 1 was the only one I completed) but D4 has no atmosphere, no creepy feeling and soundtrack like the first one and its so easy, I managed to not buy any weapon and had 4 Million Credits on level 55. I always used the same 4 attacks from the beginning and died maybe 10-15 times. It's so easy, wtf. I remember D1 to be pretty hard.
WTF happened? Is Diablo 3 also that bad?

jwillj2k41d 9h ago

Diablo 3 was my first Diablo game. I had to use the mailbox cheats to keep it interesting.

Crows901d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

Diablo 3 was really hard at launch....then they made it easy.

They love scaling difficulty though.

anast14h ago

D2 is the pinnacle. I still fire it up from time to time.

GrmpyolGamer 1d 1h ago

Considering that the PS cloud steaming is garbage compared to XCloud and is limited to certain devices this isn't something to brag about. Wake me up when Diablo is on PS plus

Lots of fond memories with the Gameboy. It was my first portable console. It's also the last system my parents played as games were getting too advanced for them outside of pinball, Mario and classic Donkey Kong games. 🤣

Cacabunga2d ago

I never had one but some school friends did.
I still remember the magical feeling of playing motocross and mario bros 2 (i think).. gaming addiction since that very moment

victorMaje2d ago

I’ll never forget opening that Christmas gift. I was ill, had a fever, and was screaming with Joy :)

Profchaos2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I still have my original GB that I opened up on Christmas morning way back and donkey Kong game it came with.

Still works to I recently picked up a ever drive for a decent price and have been rediscovering some of my all time favourite games like Pokemon, super Mario land 2 and links awakening.

Amazing little system with interesting development and release story.

The story of how Tetris came to be a pack in has been turned into a movie it's that interesting
