   ♲ @amirrajan@ruby.social: Dear Ruby devs and game devs. I have a crazy announcement I want to share. Please boost.
   
   Last week I released A Dark Room to the Nintendo Switch. Within the game, I also shipped a Ruby interpreter and a code editor as an Easter Egg.
   
   *This Easter Egg effectively turns every consumer spec-ed Nintendo Switch into a Ruby Machine.*
   
   1. Download A Dark Room from the US/EU.
   2. Connect a USB keyboard and press the “~” key.
   3. Follow the onscreen instructions.

      @clacke My understanding is that #Nintendo has removed the game.

         @Zordon (Linux Walt) Nah, that can't be true, because the dev said "stop with the knee jerk FUD. I've researched this.".

            @Zordon (Linux Walt) Well, I've been playing adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com… today, so that's a nice outcome either way. Cute game. Feels like I'm back in the 80s on the C64.
