How did a jokey Reddit post of a screenshot of a support response turn into every site covering this like everyone is doing it and Valve is pleading everyone to stop?

New electronics will have a smell mostly from adhesives outgassing. Those fumes.

This is the only board I ever smelled that was pleasant. Usually a circuit board smells faintly of burnt plastic and pee, even new.

Yeah I figured it had to be glue or plastic based fumes from heat.

I didn’t know that was a thing until I saw a reference like this a couple years ago so looked it up.

Believe you me I immediately grabbed two cartridges and asked my kiddo if they’d like to lick one. They’re very bitter
