Gamers in Australia and New Zealand will soon be able to indulge in the sweet, citrusy scents of Xbox—which is, apparently, reminiscent of makrut lime and "winter lemon.” Of course, those are the top notes. The product line, called Lynx Xbox, has middle notes of “mint and sage,” rounded out by bottom notes of “patchouli and clearwood.”

I love how they’re like “How do we turn Mountain Dew into a body wash?” and came up with “kaffir lime and winter lemon.”

PAX Australia may be the world’s nicest smelling nerd convention this year!
Finally, now I can carry the unmistakable stench of homophobia and the irrational fear of minorities.

I read an article today that civilization as we know it will collapse in the 2050s so we gotta get all these fucking awful ideas in while we still have time.

A repackaged gaming adjacent product announcement. What a way for Vice mothership content to make its entrance into the feed.

I really want someone to be like, “Mm, what’s that fragrance?”
Just so I can go, “XBAWKS”

Interesting, but I have rules about putting green goo on my body…
melting solder does have a very distinct smell, but it ain’t kaffir lime
So it smells like desperation and week-old cottage cheese?
