The age old question: When is a mix ready?

I used to work as a sound engineer a long time ago, but had a long gap and now I make songs every now and then, mainly just for myself. But this same dilemma repeats on every single song, even preventing me from publishing them.

I've used references of popular songs I know well, I've taken long breaks (days, even weeks), I've listened on different playback systems (Focal Shape 65 +sub @ semi treated room, Sundara, FT1, all EQ compensated, and of course iPhone)... And every single time I get back to it there's something important I need to change. But the cycle never ends. How does one call a mix done??

Here's the one I'm working on right now (instrumental progeish metal):

Thin white lines here and there in Atlantis Ep.3. Bug or a feature?

Playing on PS5 I get these thin white lines here and there. Are they a bug or are they supposed to represent the simulation breaking up or something?

<< EDIT: The other episodes hadn’t installed, so I still have lots to do after all! >>

I’m not sure if the game glitched or what. Near the end of Atlantis I was facing Persephone at her palace, and she threw me down in the hole. I saw a beast lurking in the shadows, but then right away a fade out and I appeared outside the palace. Did I miss a boss fight?

Another was that someone (maybe Hekate) said something like “I’ll deal with you later”. I thought that the storyline would finish after playing a bit more, but nothing came up. I have cleared all locations in Atlantis, and it felt like it ended very abruptly. Did I miss the whole ending to the DLC?

I’ve played Odyssey for quite a lot already but I still haven’t figured out: What are the benefits of weakening the leadership of a region to create a conquest battle, and why change the leadership from Athens to Sparta or the other way around? I read that it will change back on its own anyway.

I mean, we play to play and to spend time in the game just for fun and all, but one would expect there to be a reason/benefit/goal to the mentioned tasks.
