Well, you can go back to the hole you crawled out of.

Why would a reasonable person have such experience?
What would you even go to that place for?

I've never used it.
It does, however, show you those posts BEFORE you click on anything.

You are the only one here surrounding yourself with people you don't like (as your previous posts clearly indicate). Do not project it unto others, who don't make such mistake.

Their purpose can be quite different.
On Twitter, for example, they serve to give you what the owner wants you to see - even before taking your interactions into account.

On Instagram, algorithm shows you nothing but posts of an account you misclicked on - even if there's nothing else in common.

It definitely has a lot to do with platforms themselves.
Especially on platforms driven by algorithms.

Four figures of pulp aviators, in dark brown, slightly shiny leather. There's snow on the bases.

Some more of the minis primed long ago.
I think, these are from Empress.

They are, likewise, for sale at pay what you want.

Update to this specific thing: it is now being sold for "pay what you want".
With some items, I want to get rid of them much more than I want to get paid for it.

That's not saying much when the only comparison allowed couldn't be worse.

You've seen it before, and you will see it again.

When I try to use it from a safe distance, it just suddenly disappears before reaching the enemy.
And I have absolutely no way to tell if I'm close enough for it to work, or not.

It's the tiny range that makes it unusable for me.
Like, I can throw a pot farther than any of the four spells I currently have.
And the pot will actually kill the enemy.

Granted, on my first playthrough (without a guide) I had no idea pots were reusable - so I played entirely without them.

The problem is, the very act of trying to cast a spell puts you in danger.
It's not a thing you can just incorporate into familiar playstyle.

And this is the main issue I have with these guides: none of them are for players who already played the game and want to try something new.

Elden Ring Mage Build Guide: Astrologer for Beginners Elden Ring Mage Build Guide. A beginner Astrologer Build to dominate with ranged magic.

For example, this.

The problem is exacerbated by the fact that it's not my first playthrough.
Like, I can use other tools effectively - which makes magic suck in comparison.

I tried looking up a guide online, but all of them are "here are good early spells! (a list of spells I already tried, with no explanation)"

Good thing there are pirate replicas out there.

I know that Wargames Atlantic has something vaguely similar.
I think the line is called "Marcher", whatever that means.

I fought three bosses at this point (Tree Sentinel, Leonine Misbegotten, and Margitt) - and couldn't use magic effectively in any of those fights.

Which is kind of why I'm asking how you're supposed to guess that one day this useless thing will suddenly become powerful.

It is flashy, yes.
But it is neither powerful, nor easy to use (at least so far).

Like, it PROBABLY gets strong at some future point - but how do you not give up on using it before that?

But what makes you try it to begin with?
Like, I started a new playthrough to see what it's like.
And my character can:
- kill a regular soldier with a backstab
- use weapon skill to deal with stronger enemies
- shoot heavily delayed projectiles that either dissipate or miss

If you played Elden Ring as a wizard - how does the game encourage you to use magic?

So far, it feels frustrating - and I have to fight enemies normally instead. So it ends up being just.. worse version of the normal playthrough with no tradeoff.

I'm pretty sure they are mocking Dawkins.
