I think this is the first time I've seen a Zork reference basically anywhere really

[-] letter_d@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I was pretty shocked when I saw the pattern online.

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

This is amazing!! So nostalgic. I love the glow in the dark message.

I never did beat that damn game.

[-] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

Go back, play it again. It's still pretty damn solid, for its age. Hell, it can be worth digging in deeper, too. There's a surprising amount of Zork titles.

You can play it on frotz or just online in a few places.

Thanks for the tip!

Nor did I. Granted, I was only 3 or 4 when that game game out for the C64, but I did try my best!

[-] Jsprad@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

That's awesome, especially with the glow in the dark bit. I would totally buy one of those.

No game has ever home close to Zork for me. I was the right age for it, and there was so much imagination in it, and more importantly, it inspired so much imagination in the player. Nothing wrong with new games, but nothing's ever come close to that feeling.

It’s beautiful! I love the little mailbox and the secret message.

[-] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Right in the nostalgia.

I tried to use glow-in-the-dark thread for a Halloween piece and it did not work at all. I was so disappointed. Some people online suggested holding it up to a bright light for a while, I did that and still nothing 😭

My eyes just bugged out of my head. this is the coolest thing I've seen on the internet all day

[-] linux2647@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

I would buy one of these if they were for sale

[-] letter_d@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

The pattern is for sale. And cross-stitching is pretty easy to pick up! (It's not my pattern. I stumbled on it and had to make it)

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

You should post this in the cross stitch community! I'm sure everyone there will like it, and I'm totally stealing that hidden message idea lol

[-] letter_d@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago
