Cross stitch fan art of the text based adventure game Zork. The opening lines of the game, "West of house. You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here." are stitched, followed by an input prompt. These lines surround a depiction of the house they describe.ALT
The same cross stitch, shown under low light. It is revealed that inside the image of the white house are glow in the dark letters which say "It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue." These letters are invisible in full light.ALT

This. Is my pride and joy. A gift for my dad, who played Zork with me when I was a kid, and with his dad when he was a kid. I designed this pattern myself and had a great time puzzling out how to hide the glow in the dark letters!

Found some remarkably terrible wall art that I want to hang in the hackerspace

I’m trying to make a display for the badges and programs we have from various cons so I’d like to have some computer-related art to go along with them and this is what came up in a search and it was so hilariously the opposite of what I wanted that I immediately knew I had to inflict this on my friends.
