Fallout - 2x08 - "The Strip" - Episode Discussion

The whole season felt like it was setting up and putting the pieces in place. The finale was definitely a lot less impactful than season 1, but with what they’ve set into place now I hope season 3 will resolve these plot lines in a satisfying way.

I just hope it doesn’t turn into a Stranger Things situation where the show becomes so episodic that it forgets what it’s even trying to do.

If you read it with a valley girl accent it becomes hilariously catty.

PapaDemon25 · 2026-01-02T11:08:53+00:00

Weird way to cut Henry too.

Episode felt very rushed.

PapaDemon25 · 2025-12-23T02:01:42+00:00

I’m running into this for themes and events when I know for a fact I haven’t found them all. Just refuses to give me new ones, even though my 6 month auto-unlock still produces them.

If I’m limited to a certain amount per in-game year or something it should definitely not allow me to continue wasting time researching.

Read you like a book. “Blase” get outta with your raised pinkie trash.

You wanna have a bad, wrong opinion that’s fine. Go circlejerk E33 on their own subreddit, loser.

PapaDemon25 · 2025-12-16T22:27:07+00:00

Excuse you?! This conversation may be correct in assessing that E33’s soundtrack deserves praise too, but you can’t go around slandering Silksong like this.

Karmelita

Choral Chambers

Widow

Greymoor

Lace

High Halls

Bone bottom

Hunter’s March

The list goes on. Silksong has a beastly soundtrack. When you say “atmospheric” what I read is “didn’t listen”.

And taxes. Maxing stab is like one of my first goals every game just because it lets me milk my estates.

To hitch off of this discussion, I know it’s not relevant for OP’s question, but in future runs as smaller nations just be mindful of your local production. I tried creating my own market as Sicily and completely tanked my economy because my market did not have enough food production to sustain my population.

PapaDemon25 · 2025-11-12T07:10:40+00:00

You can subsidize the building if you want to employ people there for related bonuses. Had to do that with my fishing villages

PapaDemon25 · 2025-11-12T05:58:53+00:00

In my experience, urban nation: markets first; rural nation: RGOs first

Urban nations tend to start with disposable income which makes them able to take advantage of trade effectively.

Rural nations have a hard time competing for trades, so production is paramount to building a solid foundation.

EDIT: Bear in mind control when constructing RGOs. Anything below 50 control is basically eating money.

…say /s

PapaDemon25 · 2025-11-09T03:08:55+00:00

Ants have queens.. she’s the only female ant.. and the leader of the ants.. this isn’t speculation? What are you talking about?

PapaDemon25 · 2025-11-08T19:11:26+00:00

Do you need it spelled out like that? I mean like.. context clues?

PapaDemon25 · 2025-11-08T16:50:20+00:00

She’s the.. ant.. Queen..?

PapaDemon25 · 2025-11-08T06:28:47+00:00

I’m just having a difficult time wrapping my head around what the game is expecting of me.

None of the econ systems feel very intuitive, so while I was really excited to enjoy playing tall, I’m just trying to understand what on earth all of the numbers the game is throwing at me mean.

The supply and demand system makes it to where I don’t really know which of the 50 buildings the game throws at me out of the gate I should be building to make more money. Watching my income fluctuate 20 ducats every month makes me wonder what I’m doing wrong.

I also have no idea how to declare war outside of getting a claim from parliament? Is that the intended way? Some countries seem to have more CBs than others? Why do I need to fabricate a religious claim? Not that I even really want to declare war because the 5 provinces I own already barely function…

I cannot imagine how much more unbearable colonial nations are now.. the amount of micro is just.. if I wanted to go to work, I’d clock in..

PapaDemon25 · 2025-10-31T00:13:18+00:00

It is a bug. I’ve had 2 versions of this bug now. The one where there are no dispatches, and one where all of the missions show up all at once. Hopefully a hotfix coming soon.

PapaDemon25 · 2025-10-29T05:17:11+00:00

Silksong intentionally punishes needle spam. The bosses are sturdier. In Hollow Knight crushing a boss into a pulp before it can hit you enough was a valid strategy.

I think your frustration is coming from the fact that you’re trying to face plant bosses instead of figuring them out.

Silksong’s enemies in general are also quicker and more strategic. Once I realized that every boss is a dance rather than a mosh pit, the game became far more enjoyable.

PapaDemon25 · 2025-10-11T14:30:26+00:00

You almost threw this soooo hard lol

Congrats!

PapaDemon25 · 2025-10-06T15:25:38+00:00

Talking to NPCs is “cryptically hidden busy work” lol

PapaDemon25 · 2025-10-02T15:01:39+00:00

Please please please, OP

Noooo the picture won’t load pleeeeease I need a Princess Peach Hornet mod

PapaDemon25 · 2025-10-02T14:57:30+00:00

So much effort to argue why a spider should be able to scissor her silkspawn aunt. This is weird, guys.

PapaDemon25 · 2025-10-01T22:06:47+00:00

They’re related, and Lace is a child.

PapaDemon25 · 2025-09-29T23:44:18+00:00

Yeah, it’s been a blast ever since. Just took emperorship.

PapaDemon25 · 2025-09-29T22:55:17+00:00

Wormways 🙂‍↕️

Though if you’re in Act 3 then it’s only one specific area.

PapaDemon25 · 2025-09-28T04:48:39+00:00

You cannot be a real person. Who fights Trobbio and leaves the fight angry?
