I've had one or two pop up mid-show/film, and they felt a bit more jarring and haphazardly-placed than ads used to be on terrestrial tv, but that might be because they feel so out of place now. Plus of course that they might just be more random, or jarring/haphazardly-placed, of course.
The best bit has been always getting two before Invincible though - there's been one 40-second promo for Apex Legends before every episode of season 2, then a brief, smug message telling you that 'this show is brought to you ad-free, thanks to Apex Legends'.
Besides the obvious irony, I belatedly watched the Atom Eve prequel episode straight after finishing the main series, and that didn't have the Apex ads before, or indeed any actual ads during, which rather diminished their stirring displays of generosity elsewhere.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
Forgot to note Tekken 8 at the time. It’s really, really good. Shame they’ve snuck IAPs in there after release, as it’s tempering any compulsion I have to go back.
FFVII Remake is old, and you’ve all probably played it, but it’s great, even if I am having to give it a lot of leeway on the whole ‘Fate’ thing it’s got going on. At least Rebirth is ready to go whenever I want, though I won’t go straight into it, I don’t think.
Best thing to come out of a Leicester since… er… Englebert Humperdinck?
TIL. Having had to google to confirm, because for some reason I was really struggling to believe this.
Wow, that’s… a lot. I think I’d seen bits and pieces here and on the socials, but wasn’t aware of the full breadth of it all. Having all that go on in such a short space of time must’ve been incredibly tough. Genuinely sorry to hear it, but fair play to you for coming through it, accentuating the positive to boot.
Hoping you’re on the up now cav, and wishing nothing but good luck for you, internet friend.
Bearing in mind what ‘mart’ means I think we need a better name/pun for when we get everyone’s favourite economics professor to do our shopping for us.
