Just block the ads with a DNS blocker, like NextDNS.

Not necessarily :) see my reply

Bonus: don't have time and want to just auto-subscribe to all (please note this isn't reversible without manually unsubbing yourself, there's a lot of niche communities here that may not appeal to you - you can remove them from the JSON file if needed)?

• On PC, download this JSON file
• On PC, download Lemmy Migration Tool (download the relevant .zip file)
• Unzip folder, run file. Lemmy Migration Tool will now be open, like in this pic.
• Note: in the Settings tab, you may wish to untick everything except Upload Community Subscriptions. Failure to do so may result in your Lemmy settings being changed.
• Click the Upload tab. Then, enter your instance name and login details, click the upload button and upload the JSON file.
• It'll automatically subscribe you to them all. If it looks like it's frozen, it hasn't. Just let it run. If you're on a small instance, you may need to re-run it a couple times (it can error if your instance hasn't discovered the community yet, this is solved on a rerun).

Of course, some may not be of interest or may overload your feed (meme communities can do this). Unsubscribe as needed.

I feel like it has more to do with the technological advances than being more prone to conflict

A big budget doesn't guarantee success though. See LOTR series.

Yup. Reality. No point using a hyper secure chat system if literally nobody you know is using it.

Work, go home, rest, sleep.

I still remember the ordeal of getting through the Fade portion of Origins... it was awful.

The rest of the game was top notch though

Outside of handhelds, I don't really see the use-case of consoles anymore, to be honest.

Dragon Age*

Ok, but it was planned as one. I'm very wary of this project, to be honest. Seems like they developed one thing, changed it, then went back to the original vision - not a good sign for a cohesive, stable project.

I'm cautious about this game. It's been redeveloped like 3 times into completely different genres, pretty much nothing has been shown about it, and Bioware is nothing like it was years back.
