Looks like it would fit into Axiom Verge

I once saw a truck that had a “don’t tread on me” decal, but the 2nd t had peeled off so it said “don’t read on me”

It’s not relatively recent though

I hate to be the one to say this, I love metroid and much prefer the giant buff samus depiction you linked to ZSS; but imo the games that really brought on the ‘waifuization’ of samus are echoes and zero mission, and they came out in 2004. That’s 20 years ago, they’re closer to NES Metroid (1986) than now.

Edit:typo

Agree with nylon repair tape generally, but I think this is the shoulder strap’s lower attachment point, which would be a very different story to random interior damage.

Is this the lower shoulder strap attachment point?

There is a decent chance North Face will be willing to repair it.

I think if you just patch it, unless you fix it in a stronger way, whatever wear pattern that caused this will probably reappear in this area again. Maybe that buys you a couple years or however long this took and that would be worth it to you. It looks to me like that spot is a pretty complicated area with lots of panels meeting up. So it might not be very easy to fix strongly in a way that looks nice. If the stylishness of the bag is pretty important to you, it might not be a great beginner DIY project.

Honestly worse than that, many of these scamming operations run on human trafficking.
