    They should sell a t-shirt that says “I never paid for WinRAR and all I got was this lousy t-shirt”.

    I’d buy one.

    Tbh I never found out about 7zip until like when I was 30. And I’m 33 now xd. I used WinRAR for years.

    And I will say, 7zip is much better. No offense to WinRAR. I got much respect for WinRAR.

    The bag looks nice, but it’s too small for usage (it’s shown for holding TCG cards). Would need to be closer to being able to hold a laptop, etc. And being made of “vegan” leather is just a turn off. Not for being vegan, but for only being listed as vegan, since it can be made of almost anything and the quality of vegan leather can vary dramatically.

    Vegan leather can be made from plastic or “pineapple leaves, cork, kelp, agave, apple skins, wine-making remnants, kombucha, and more”. Just a basic understanding of vegan leather here..

      You’re meant to compress your belongings before they go in the bag, then decompress them when you need them.

      I can quickly summarize:

      Word Vegan + Not A Vegan Thing = Bullshit For Morons

        In that case just call it something else. Hell Chrysler created “Corinthian” leather to make the garbage they put in their cars seem like it was fancy.

        And as a moron I would honestly suggest just tricking us with a delicious name instead of trying to make a vegan cheese steak that tastes terrible, then it makes younger silly moron me feel like vegan food is pretentious and terrible.

        Now that is absolutely untrue and in the ensuing years my dumbass has had lots of absolutely delicious food that I didn’t even know was vegan.

        Y’all gots a marketing problem, ease us morons into it, with delicious butternut squash soup.

    Hella respect for this move, and i like the look of these. I just wish it had come at a time before I was concerned about the price of everything that I need to survive sky rocketing. Would have purchased 2 years ago.

      I believe they’re re releasing these from ~2 years ago lol. I’ve definitely seen these before, I don’t remember when, it was certainly more than a few months back.

      Yeah that’s called a bag of holding and it would be worth 1000x that. Hell I’d probably save up all my Pennie’s for that.

    I bought WinRAR, for a pretty specific reason: It can handle Japanese locale. The assorted games, patches, manga, and so forth couldn’t be handled by 7zip/PeaZip at the time.

      Its stupid.

      There is no usability or design, it’s a box on a rope. They didn’t even try.

      Yeah… I’d buy some of this stuff to be ironic, but it doesn’t look very good 🤷‍♂️
