    For better or worse, I never quite understood the Steam deck smell. My sense of smell lacks the ability to smell a lot of things, so I’m guessing I’m just unable to pick up on whatever makes it so appealing to people.

      I am pretty sure it is a nostalgia thing for me. It smells like electronics from my childhood, moreso than other newer electronics I have. When I smell the vent it brings me back to my childhood and all of my friends and siblings gathered around a console in a small room with no AC in the middle of summer. A simpler time when I wasn’t a dad, didn’t have a mortgage, a job, taxes and bills to pay etc. I was just a kid sitting on the floor shirtless in shorts surrounded by my friends trying to finish games.
