I've been using borg to backup small things, like schoolwork, config files, mail, and code, to rsync.net for ~1 year now, and can vouch that it's pretty simple to setup. If you've got a simple use case like I do, the example

Tons of other games didn't become big esports, and most of the people who dedicated years to those games ended up wasting their time.

You'd be suprised. It's not uncommon to see players that only play that much because they want to become a pro player, but in the end they never make it, or qualify to 1-2 tournaments. The lucky ones end up making money from str

The space thing is what kills it for me. Even if the VR and computer were free, I just don't have the space to use it. I'm not going to rearrange furniture or lock my dogs outside just to play a video game.
