Job-Hunting reach-out to VC from previous fundraising effort for own startup
I have e-mail archive from 1y ago of my reach-out to 65 VCs in London: we had video calls, they might remember me still, who knows.
I want to send a reply/forward message to the same e-mail thread from abc@gmail.com, saying that I am looking for roles within their VC firm. Is that a good idea?
Or shall I just start new email thread and mention how I know them?

The barrier to entry is very low if you've played rpgs or tactical games in general, and moderately high if you haven't
There are 3 difficulty settings - 1) "I don't care about combat" 2) "I care about combat but I want my weird build to be viable" and 3) "I'm here to min-max"
One thing I'm loving is that items are just items. There's no "sword level 3" or "sword level 4" and it's very refreshing. You upgrade your gear more selectively and less compulsively like other games *cough* dos2 *cough*
The systems are a learning curve, missing attacks is more common (both directions) than other games, it can be very hard to come out of a battle "unscathed", and your resources feel more finite. I find these to be features though, and I'm having a good time not understanding jack shit about what my armor means or which attributes (i mean "skills" as its confusingly called in-game) govern what exactly (like insight, history, intimidation checks and such)
The general theme seems to be you don't need to know exactly how things work. if you just do things that fit the theme of your character then it should play out more or less in a way that checks out. Run your melee character into the middle of a ring of enemies on high ground? Yeah he's probably dead before he gets to do much even on normal setting.
I loved divinity 2 and was easy to learn jmif you ever played any rpg
Newbie to turn based RPG. Dabbled in DO and DA . Been playing a few days and enjoying it. It’s easy to pause and pick back up. Feels immersive, like I’m in the story. I want to explore every nook and cranny and talk to everyone. New to the combat system so still trying to understand why sometimes I have moved and other times I don’t (assume related to resting?) but overall really enjoying the play thus far
Pro
I'm in this boat. Loving it so far after a bit over 5 hours. It's very intuitive and feels like most other RPGs from a gameplay perspective, just isometric with a turn-based combat system. Every once in a while you roll a die to see if you can do something, but it's well explained.
The most daunting part is character build and progression, but there are lots of guides online to point you in the right direction and the choices aren't that complex.
So if you get a bad roll then you die or a part of the game is blocked off?
Sounds lame
Never played any of the games. I'll let you know in like 4 hrs.
Waiting for it to come to Xbox...
Ok, I have played for about 7 hours straight. I am enjoying the game. I don't really need to have prior knowledge. I'm sure it would be nice but I'm having a bamger of a time. The wizard can't hit the broad side of a barn, but overall, I feel I can finally experience some sort of DnD campaign. I am overwhelmed with little choices and have already started planning out my second character. The Ai never miss though so be prepared to just lose a wizard or two.
Great game, you can buy a Player’s Handbook at a book store or download one if you want to grasp the rules better.
I had no experience with D&D and first time playing turn based RPG. Took me like 6-7 hours to get used to the gameplay mechanics of BG3. It's really not that hard and you can choose how much you play everyday. Doesn't require a lot of time investment.

Do you cast IRL time dilation spells or something? Cause 6 hours to get used to just playing an RPG is kinda insane for me as an adult with a job
