Seventy-three percent saved, and nobody in the room is allowed to move.

This gamer room sign is really a poster, Seventy-Three Percent, built around the old save-screen plea "SAVING... DO NOT TURN OFF THE POWER" in chunky pixel letters above a progress bar stuck at 73%. It gives a game room an inside joke every player gets at a glance, and it is a light-hearted gift for anyone who has ever frozen mid-save.

The design: the longest few seconds in gaming

There is no picture here, only words, and that is the point. Across the top, "SAVING..." runs in pale green blocky type, its three dots trailing off like the console is still thinking. Under it, the warning stacks up line by line in cream and peach: "DO NOT", "TURN", "OFF THE", and finally "POWER", the biggest word of all, each letter edged with a soft green shadow.

Below the message sits the detail that gives the print its name: a small "73%" beside a slim outlined progress bar, with a row of amber blocks and an arrow-like tip inside it. Everything floats on solid black, with no console, controller, character or logo, so the lettering does all the work.

Anyone who grew up with memory cards and autosaves knows this moment. You set the controller down gently, you tell everyone to stay away from the outlet, and you watch a number that seems to take forever to climb. Seventy-Three Percent freezes that held breath at its most nervous point: far enough along to have something to lose, not far enough to relax.

Flat, heavy paper for crisp blocky letters

• Sixteen print sizes: eleven portrait, the smallest 5″×7″ (12.7 × 17.8 cm) and the largest 24″×36″ (61.0 × 91.4 cm), with A2 (16.5″×23.3″, 41.9 × 59.2 cm) and A1 (23.3″×33.1″, 59.2 × 84.1 cm) in between, plus five squares
• 189 g/m² matte paper, 10.3 mil thick, with a surface that soaks up light instead of reflecting it, so a nearby monitor or lamp leaves no bright patch on the black
• 94% opacity keeps the black field deep and even, with nothing from the wall showing through
• At 104% ISO brightness, the light lettering sits on a clean base, so every pixel edge reads clearly from across the room
• The paper comes from Japan
• Your gamer room sign is sent unframed and printed after you order, ready for tape, clips or a frame you pick

Who it's for

Console and PC players, retro collectors of old memory cards, and anyone who has shouted "don't touch that" at a roommate during a save. Put it over the desk where you play, next to the TV, or on a dorm or streaming-corner wall, and it suits a birthday, a new home or the holidays for the gamer in the family.

Quick answers

Is this a sign or a poster?

It is a paper poster. We call it a gamer room sign because it reads like one: a short, bold message instead of a scene. Pin it, tape it or frame it yourself.

Is it from a specific game or console?

No. The save warning is a generic message that many systems have shown over the years, and the lettering is original RaZits art. There is no logo, console or character anywhere on the print.

Do the square sizes cut off any words?

No. Every square keeps the full warning and the 73% bar, with wider empty margins left and right. Portrait sizes add that extra space above and below the text instead.

Which size reads well from the couch?

For a message you can read from a sofa or doorway, choose 18″×24″ (45.7 × 61.0 cm) or larger. Above a desk you sit close to, 8″×10″ (20.3 × 25.4 cm) or 11″×14″ (27.9 × 35.6 cm) is plenty.
