Apologies of this has been posted about and I missed it.
I was really struck by the mental preparation that Franklin did with TVCC. “This is like the dark hall way you’ll wait in…” Making some full outs have the long wait etc like the real competition so they knew what it felt like…When they arrived in Daytona walking them through exactly where they would go and explaining exactly what would happen on the day…
While one of Monica’s big worries was the stage difference and how that physically feels strange on the day, so Navarro shelled out a huge sum of money to have a similar stage to Daytona. They didn’t show Navarro doing the type of mental prep TVCC did. When Monica said something to the effect of “we couldn’t be more prepared” I did think about the dark hall stuff and wonder…
In any sport you can be 100% physically prepared but if your mental state is all over and your nerves get the best of you on the day it can tank you. I just thought it was interesting Navarro seemed to mainly be thinking about physical issues messing them up, while TVCC put a big emphasis on mental prep too.
Just was thinking buying the expensive stage might have been helpful on some level but maybe not worth the cost over all!
TVCC calm approach to mental prep seemed at lot more effective.

My thought process is Kliff Kingsbury's success in Arizona could motivate NFL teams in the need of a new head coach in the next few seasons to hire college football coaches to try to replicate the success Arizona has had with Kliff. This is similar to how Sean McVay's success motivated teams to hire young head coaches like McVay.
This could lead to the Bears trying to hire a college coach like Pat Fitzgerald of Northwestern. I personally hope not as I hope they hire Brian Daboll of Buffalo instead but it's still a possibility.
Thoughts?
I'm currently on my third playthrough, and I have gone for 20+ weeks without seeing a bounty hunter in the stagecoach. Why is this? He is one of my favourite characters...
I have only installed 2 mods installed, none of which touch the stagecoach at all.
Have people seen something like this.
At first I enjoyed the prospect of driving around a burning, bleeding, disease-ridden, and dying world. However, after several runs the novelty has run out. It is a chore even with the auto-drive button( which itself is a bit finicky). Sometimes it is a good half minute of nothing but watching stress and negative barks pile up.
I understand the desire for Slay the Spire branching paths. However, in that game it is really click and you are in the fight. I love the fights in DD2. Don't like the breaks.
I wish there was an auto-drive feature that just drove to the node I click on.
Love the game so far though.
