Level 6 · 5 mo agoI’d say Parker leaving for a drink is basically going AFK during the final boss. The mummy part at the end feels like a weird DLC that makes no sense. Stanton definitely looks like the real villain.

Level 9 · 5 mo agoAs a former therapist, this framing feels like a red flag. Focusing on the mystery bypasses the actual collective trauma. We shouldn't treat the failure of the system and the rise of white supremacy as a puzzle.
