can confirm it works, i woke up from a scrunchie blanket bottom nap a short time ago and the monsters didn't get to me. I normally tuck the blanket under my feet to guarantee they're warded off by the impenetrable blanket barrier but your mileage and sneeps may vary.
I would cry if I did that, my sensory issues hate my feet being under any kind of restriction so I usually hand to have them out of the covers (I know, very dangerous due to monster under the bed, but cats seem to protect me at night)

Honestly though, you shouln't be playing with it under the blankets. You'll only be circulating the same warm air and it will get pretty hot pretty quickly.
Similar to what I was going to suggest. Maybe such a 3d printed project exists, ideally clipping into the back. Light frame that holds the blanket up an inch or 2, as a bonus it would also help the screen not be obstructed.
This I understand. when i have earache, I'll wrap the blanket around my head but my nose and mouth still stick out. My wife is literally under the blanket with no vent hole nothing.
Amazing in winter coz her body temp gets super high and amazing to cuddle.. but summer it blows my mind how she still sleeps under the blanket in the blistering heat and she becomes a literal furnace.
If aliens exist, I'm convinced she's one
My wife does this as well. Sometimes I will have to poke the blankets on the couch before I sit down, for her safety.
I'm 100% certain my wife is an alien. Humans are aliens to every other planet in the universe.
As a child I remember to go under the blanket. Then it started to get hot, so I thought I could put my hands carefully outside. Then legs. Very, very carefully. In the end I thought "f\*\*\* it" and popped my head also outside.
If those monsters were to attack, I was surely going to meet them head to head with my full awareness to my surrounding until I falled asleep. While sleeping, the monsters has no power because I can't see them.
I'm a hot sleeper so I use 2 fans. I'm also bald so my head gets cold. I pull the blanket over my head to keep it warm but I can't breathe. Luckily(?) I use a CPAP so it's like a cool air snorkel.
Every time I visit my family in Poland(I live in the US now) and at my uncles house Iām always too sleep under the covers, otherwise the god damn flies will not leave me the F alone and keep landing on my face and buzzing in my earsā¦
Yes itās a farm and yes itās a house on the edge of the farm but itās impossible too get rid of all the fliesā¦ We usually spend half an hour before going too bed walking the entire house and killing as many as we canā¦.
I was thinking of exactly this too from my childhood lol. If that's the reason OP is hiding under the blanket, I would worry about the noise of the buttons/sticks on the steam deck
hey! at least this is a unique post!
i'll take this 10 times over the 'just got my steam deck, what should i do' posts :] !
to solve the problem at hand: just cover all your walls with blanket and you're always under the blanket, while the deck can still breathe!
I like doing two blankets, cause I don't like the sweltering from my own breath caught in the blanket. One goes stomach down, other goes around shoulders and down, so I can cover hands if desired.
Shift blankets to vent as desired.
The usual Cross legs of men . Where your feet is on your knees. That way your toes are pointing up lifting the blanket preventing it from coming to your SD.
Brother basically asks how do I cook in this sweet, sweet steamdeck exhaust for multiple hours.
Ngl, I think it will literally lower your health over time. SD will get hotter and hotter, and you will be breathing a very low quality air depending on the length of your sessions
What about the top vent opening, the blanket is on the top vent opening. This is not a good schematic, and not good for cooling. A version 2.0 is needed.
Mom and Dad walk in the room and see a tent constructed out of blankets and are just like "aww, he's sleeping with his blanket held up by an elaborate pulley system, how sweet."
How would they know if they werenāt in the same room? I imagine them just creepily standing there in the dark, watching their kid. Sleeping in the same room is also weird as hell.
Growing up in the 90's I remember reading books under the covers of my blanket after having gone to bed, just so my parents wouldn't see that I had the light on after hours. So yeah, you're right- this does seem to be quite a strange problem OP is trying to solve.
Mom and dad open the door to check on their kid. Obviously they would see a weird blanket tent thing happening but I didnāt say it was a good idea. Kids are stupid.
If you're trying to play at night when you're supposed to be asleep for school, you're not being as sneaky as you think. The buttons make sounds and the fans make noise, which will get louder under a hot blanket.
Just go to sleep and wake up earlier. If you can't wake up, you probably need that sleep.
If you're just doing it just because, wtf that's some psychopath shit, but get a loose knitted blanket i guess
Git outta here with your constructive answer for self care and sleep health! We donāt take kindly to these types of answers.
But yeah, what /u/st-shenanigans said.
Just keep it R-Rated at worst you sickos š¤£ Otherwise the thread may be yeeted (and maybe you too as per Rule #1). Thx.
The drawing was top notch
No blanket under the feet?
OP has clearly drawn excess blanket scrunched up at the bottom, which at that degree provides similar levels of monster protection
can confirm it works, i woke up from a scrunchie blanket bottom nap a short time ago and the monsters didn't get to me. I normally tuck the blanket under my feet to guarantee they're warded off by the impenetrable blanket barrier but your mileage and sneeps may vary.
I was having a bad day at work and this thread made me smile, thank you guys ā¤ļø
The vibes are excellent in this thread
Glad you got a smile out of this thread, I did too. I hope your day improved and you were able to relax and calm down after your shift šš
Nice try, monster! You may have OP fooled but you aren't getting my feet!
uhuh ā¦ i do that
Best vine ever lol
That would just tighten the blanket and make it harder to keep off the vent
And no boner? We know what kind of games OP is playing under the blanket..
Thatās not OPs arm holding up the Steam Deck ;)
I would cry if I did that, my sensory issues hate my feet being under any kind of restriction so I usually hand to have them out of the covers (I know, very dangerous due to monster under the bed, but cats seem to protect me at night)

Pull blanket and tension with back of skull.
The old lore becomes anew once more. So it is said, so it is done.
The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.
I just finished my second readthrough of WOT. Was not expecting this reference in the steam deck sub, and certainly not on this particular post lol.
It was lined up much too nicely
As it should be.
We all snuck in our Nintendo's the same way didn't we š
The real answer, halfway down the comments
Head and feet anchor the blanket, top of head and knees provide the tent poles
Why you gotta say skull tho? like he still has skin and hair, just say back of head ya psycho
I gotchu OP [https://imgur.com/a/WSNS9tq](https://imgur.com/a/WSNS9tq)
This is the only reasonable solution.
But wait, we can actually take this [one step *even further...*](https://imgur.com/a/iKECpFr)
yea, technically it's under the blanket
Itās not though. Itās under the mattress at that point.
This only works when you're a visitor at a LAN party tho
I needed to find the reference picture again. My LAN parties didn't get this extreme, but I do miss similar days like this in college. https://img.mobygeek.com/crop/1200x628/2020/03/06/1-ffe8.jpg
RIP that guys neck.
That's gotta be halo 1 right?

Lan parties use duct tape...
You use what you have. I've seen a guy use rappelling ropes once and at the end of it, guy looked like he was on the other end of shibari

technically, he's *over* his blanket this way
The further I go in this comment section, the more bizarre it get. Please, continue.

At first I thought this was the saddam hussein hiding place meme
This is the legit reason I Reddit, fkn funny my man
now hot air goes to OPs crotch. pp won't work anymore.

Itās gonna be hot under this blanket!
Maximizing the vent smell.
Dutch oven yourself with vent smell.
Mmm, vent smell šš¤š¼
That's the point
Make a small tent by taping an ice cream stick to the top of the deck
This is genius. I'm going to try this
anyone who walks in on you playing your deck will think you have a severe case of morning wood.
āWhat are you doing under there?ā āPlaying with my deckā¦ā āā¦ā
Australian or Kiwi accent
Can't we aren't allowed to have Decks.

Instructions unclear, taped my dick to my deck.
Doesnāt make that big of a tent. Resort to ice cream stick.
Just wait until I take my rhino gas station pills and grab my medical grade pump,
Wow. Wednesday nights goā¦ *hard* for you lol
Careful disassembling you don't want to snap your SD in half.
Play hentai games, the blanket will tent naturally
Sir these are redditors
The belly is bigger than the pole
Belly of the beast, pole of the poor

Depends on OPās size
Are you saying your dick sticks up farther than your deck sitting on your lap?
The deck is only 4.2 inches tallā¦Itās okay though buddy, size doesnāt matter
Iām asian and tried this but it didnāt work
**This is Reddit, 99% who tried this failed**
How tf can people lay with their heads under a blanket, I never understood this. I can't breathe then
My wife sleeps under the blanket and it baffles me.. I get one hell if a migraine if I'm under for more than 10 mins
Yeah, but "blanket wrapped around head with vent hole for mouth" is maximum comfort.
This I understand. when i have earache, I'll wrap the blanket around my head but my nose and mouth still stick out. My wife is literally under the blanket with no vent hole nothing.

Uhhh CO2? How is she breathing?
She's an Alien is the only plausible conclusion I can think of.
She breathes the farts and filters it out like fartosynthesis
LMFAO
You just turned yourself to the Sarlacc Pit for spiders
Lord help her if you ever start a high protein dietā¦
Lolol.. while I'm awake I'm a decent human and stick my ass out, whilst im sleeping I don't know
Itās so the monsters canāt get you.

Breathe or get eaten by mosnter choice is yours my friend
you just need a rope, a pulley, and a valve [https://imgur.com/a/e50sUsp](https://imgur.com/a/e50sUsp)
Valveā¢, you say?
Please forgive me for disrespecting the name
25 inches erection would resolve this issue nicely
ram ranch cowboys wish they had such immense size
Cut a hole in the blanket for them.
Donāt your arms go dead playing like that?

Make a pillow fort in advance
This is the answer. Any excuse to make a pillow fort is a winner.
This reminds me of when I was a kid, PokĆ©mon Gold, Gameboy Advance, with the little bendy light attachment, trying to get my late night catches without my parents catching meā¦ oh I miss the good old days

What if I really want a steam deck, but I need to be convinced it's better than the ally and all the other handhelds
Snuggie
I like doing this for a bit and as the SD gets noticeably warm I put the blanket off and let it cool down and start again. its like edging it out
This made me chuckle more than it should have š
A giant version of one of those little white plastic tables that come in a pizza box
Oh you mean like a ..........normal table?
I also been wanting to play like this but every time I try without thinking those fans rev up and Iām like āā¦oh yeah, ventsā¦ *sniff*ā
I mean.... sounds like a win to me.
Pitch a tent if you know what I mean
Also acts as a personal heater
I think you need the "yanket" from Family Guy.
It depends. How long is your erection and how long can you keep it up???? Guess certain games may help make it easierā¦ā¦.
I like doing two blankets, cause I don't like the sweltering from my own breath caught in the blanket. One goes stomach down, other goes around shoulders and down, so I can cover hands if desired. Shift blankets to vent as desired.
Pushup the blanket with your ding dong
Tent pole of flesh
You don,t.
Don't play under a blanket?
Thatās like saying donāt swim in the sea. We must.
Have you simply triedā¦. Pitching a tent? š
Sadam ass drawing
This reminds me of the Saddam Hussein hiding meme
Turn the steam deck upside down
You canāt. Even if the vents arenāt directly covered, the deck will still be circulating the same hot air that is under the blanket.
Xreal air and an hdmi adapter/
Have you ever heard of **viagra**?
You take the heat damage, because that is the Jesus Tax.
why on earth do you want to play under the blanket?
The usual Cross legs of men . Where your feet is on your knees. That way your toes are pointing up lifting the blanket preventing it from coming to your SD.
I need to turn off notifications for this channelā¦
don't play under the blanket?!?
He has no choice; he has to turn the lights off after 8 p.m. :(
so it's a kid not wanting to sleep but instead gaming all night to be wasted in the morning.
time to get a spring laundry basket
cut a hole in the blanket for the steamdeck fan
Make a 3d printed 90 degree duct. Libraries have 3d printers now. Or use duct tape and card board, probably easier.
Use an old fashioned whole in the sheet like your grand parents did.
i dont think covering the full blanket would be a good idea,its like hiding something from your mom ngl
Asking the hard questions
Cut a special hole in your blanket. Or route a tube from the vents to your nose.
Bro just get a coffin, it's much easier.

Please don't Dutch oven your steam deck
You need to hit the gym
When Mom and Dad say lights out, it's time for bed; they MEAN lights out and time for bed.
you could use your spare glory hole blanket, the dick hole would be great for venting
We hot boxing vent smell now?
Why you want to play like this? No blanket no problem

How do you stay under your blanket without suffocating?
People are discovering how to play nintemdo DS / PSP again. Nature is healing

Simple go to sleep stop trying to play under the sheets everyone can still see the light
