That's just beyond stupid. You need a fluid container that contains multiple liquids for various smells, you need to replace / refill that from time to time, you need a dispenser that turns that fluid into a mist that is being blown out, which makes noise, it all costs money and is extremely dumb.

So if I'm playing a Witcher game, I get to smell all the corpses a monster I'm hunting left behind?

Ewww. No thank you.
 
This idea was explored for PC decades ago. They were looking at doing something similar where you have CMYK, but for scents instead of colors. Supplying certain ingredients, when combined in different ways could generate different scents based on what was on the screen.

Has it ever been really that bad with gamers in the US? Living in the Philippines, we've never had a problem with body odor because like most Asian countries we have a long tradition of bathing. I've never encountered such a problem in all the conventions I've attended, but it seems to be a common thing back when E3 was around.

Yes.

Go to the lolcow thread that is in Tavern; those are the famous ones who are well-known. Then realize there are multitudes more unknown shut-ins who only leave the house to get vidya. With door dash and Amazon, that isn't a much of a thing as it used to be, but they still do wander Wal-Mart and Dollar Stores.

And they don't even have the decency to take a bath before going out? Jesus Christ. And they call us Asian people savages.

This has got to be one of the dumbest ideas ever. Surprised it's not the new gimmick on the switch 2.

No, the US has the least problem with body odor. The problem they have is too much cologne, perfumes, deodorants, etc. People are dousing themselves in the US with that stuff. When coming over to the US from another country, it's like walking into a Bath and Body Works country when landing in the US.

God, there are times when I'm at a grocery store and I walk down an aisle and smell the perfume of a woman who isn't even in the aisle anymore. She sprayed so much on that she leaves a 30 foot trail.

For me that's just about as bad as the Indians who come here and think it's ok to not wear deodorant and not shower every day on top of it. I even went to school with this cute 20ish year old Indian girl who would stink up an entire lab room within minutes of entering. Really heinous and everyone was too woke to say anything to her.

We had an Indian employee here who smelled REAL bad. Human Resources talked to him, and he said he no control over it. His diet consisted of a lot of curry, and that curry would come out the pores of his skin and he couldn't prevent that.

Maybe that is true, I don't know.

I personally am a clean freak. Showering every day, head to toe with dial soap for men, shaving, lotions and CK One cologne (not cologne daily).

Well in this girl's case, it just smelled like you had your nose pressed under her armpit at all times. Like it was the typical body odor smell that comes from any armpit that has been sweating all day with no deodorant on, whatever the person's diet might be. I could get the room stinking of my armpits the same way no matter what I was eating.

That's extremely disgusting that you'd single out India like that. What kind of monster would have a brain that makes a connection between people who smell horrific and people who come from India?

Not gonna lie, the smell of opening a new cd case when you bought an album is incredibly nostalgic to me.

I miss the days of riding home in the passenger seat of my mom's car with a brand new videogame for the NES or Genesis, unsealing it, reading the instruction book, looking at the cartridge, looking at the gameplay screens on the back of the case...

Just waiting to get home to try it out. We had a ton of games but it was rare to get them while they were expensive. My parents never bought a copy of Mario 3 for the NES because it was $50, but we rented it like 40 times. I don't think they ever really thought about that one too hard, but yeah smelling a new game is very nostalgic :LOL:
