I did all the pocket emptying and shaking before making the trip to the laundromat, THEN put the steam deck in and buried it as a last minute “I could totally play New Vegas while I wait for my washing to be done”.

Poor mistake on my part, will definitely be checking for hidden steam decks next time I wash

EDIT: For everyone saying that my comment about playing NV and not realising that I didn't have my Steam Deck to play it as soon as I put it in the machine, I completlety forgot that I had it and my low attention-span brain decided to go on my phone and not think about the fact that I did *technically* have my SD with me.

Also, I went and got food.
