Valve responds to a single user support ticket about sniffing the Steam Deck vent, saying you probably shouldn't for your health.

IGN: "Valve Pleads With Steam Deck Owners to Stop Inhaling Exhaust Fumes"

Clickbait alive and well I see.

@gamingonlinux We know Gabe Newell personally responds to every Valve support ticket, so this can only be construed as the company's very serious official position on the matter.

@gamingonlinux as long as the SD gers free publicity I'm okay with.

so let me smell yo deck

(sorry I was bored)

A horribly photoshopped screen capture, apparently from the infamous 2008 rap classic "Smell yo Deck" by Riskay. She lays on her bed next to her Steam Deck, preparing to intentionally overheat the device and freebase the resulting thermal paste fumes.

@gamingonlinux gotta say, I am laughing at the 180° about face that he took. Laughing even more at the possibility of the potential boost Linux gets when it does happen.

@gamingonlinux In fairness, that’s a bit like being told you are immune to Chicken Pox. Oh no, I guess I won’t be able to lose money in Sweeney’s cartoon casino. Oh well, never mind. 🤣

There are other games with the same mechanics so it isn't a monopoly they can enforce

@gamingonlinux Golf With Your Friends is fun. It's an excellent multiplayer game.

It runs so much better via Proton than the native port though.

(It's an old Unity game. In the native port: Mouse clicks don't register properly, changing settings is super buggy, and performance is absolute trash. Running the Windows version in Proton is flawless.)

@gamingonlinux Fallout 4 futur update will include improvment for stream deck and proton ? 🍿

@gamingonlinux “Fixed situations causing the Steam client to only download the Windows version of a title and later attempting to run it without Proton.” 🥳 🎉.

Getting into a long random-ass debate with someone?

Remember to untag everyone else.

Seriously. With 50K+ followers it gets nuts.

It's why I repeatedly tell you to *email me* if you want me to see something:

contact @ gamingonlinux . com

Otherwise, it's easily buried here.

I really wish there was an opt-out setting for automatic tagging anyone other than the comment being replied to. This is very unintuitive to me.
