I'm of the same camp. One of the best (if not the best) updates so far for me (even though it wiped 3/4ths of my theory board

And yes, I also liked the Stanley Parable section because I thought it was a creative way to showcase Orion's fears while giving him that final push to make him commit to his relationships. Plus it's also the one time his game dev/programmer background gets referenced again, which is something I thought Cari kinda forgot.
Making jokes and discussing theory is fun, but then there's always the risk to stumble upon this kind of remark which painfully showcase how spoiled people can get.
please dont put words in my mouth, i did not say "i think clone is me". i was explaining that the artifact we get in eternum does not make clones and that through process it either create multiple versions of same guy (like naruto's shadow clone jutsu. they are not simple clones who once they die they vanish into non-existence. every shadow clone of naruto is actually a piece of him that gains experience and then when they disappear all the experience goes to original guy as if they originally experience it)
I wanna know how he escaped the server where we found Calypso and where we left him. Because I think that might be quite revealing...
Honestly, I think we still don't know enough about him. I mean, we know he's the biggest threat the characters have found so far and we've discovered his origin, but we still don't know what really is his motivation and what he's trying to achieve. And, more importantly, he's clearly NOT the big bad. I'm convinced that Thanatos could (will) eventually become an ally if his objetives align with the MC's. But we're still not at that point of the story.
Personally I find him okay. Kind of there to balance out the mustache-twirling antagonists like the Founder and William. Plus I think he pretty much embodies what would happen to Orion if he went off the deep end and completely got absorbed with the gem hunt, so looking at it from that perspective he's pretty much the latter's natural rival.
That would depend on what his objectives are. For all we know he may want to perpetuate the current state of Eternum (going by his "strength" talk back in Ogygia), which would make him an unlikely ally to William but puts him at odds with Idriel and Orion (who want to break its current state) as well as the Founder (whose quest for the gems is implied by Idriel and William to be a bad thing).
I want to know how he manages to find his targets, especially when it's Orion tping in with his real body.
Port isn't something you should give to an android. Doesn't go well with their internals.
He does his job as a the evil antagonist with a somewhat unknown motivation behind him. I guess at some point we will learn more about him. Right now he is essentially the Darth Vader of the story (Darth Vader from The Last Hope that is). Unbeatable and just egoistic and evil, trying to collect all gems seemingly just to become a kind of god.
I really enjoyed it in isolation (but I was familiar with and really enjoyed the original game), but I think including it in the pirate server made the already very long story arc too long. I would've moved it to the desert server (Orion drinking some tea at the bazaar or something like that).
there is a trope in anime where "sword that can cut through everything" can have some busted powers depending on imagination of user. so for example cutting through dimensions, cutting cross servers, cutting reality. it feels like a copout plot device but its posibility
