218/250 were fully playable at good framerates (60+). He notes that the more popular a game is the more likely it is to work flawlessly.

Of the remaining 32 games that had problems, 12 of them defaulted to the iGPU on the CPU instead of using the Intel dGPU. He had to disable the iGPU in Device Manager to get them to use the dGPU. 11 of those 12 worked flawlessly after making this change.
-
5 games crashed on launch (Avatar: FOP, Batman Arkham Knight, Sim City 4, Left 4 Dead 2, Saints Row 2)
-
6 games ran but with graphical artifacts (Bioshock, Dirt Rally, Ghost of Tsushima, Starfield, GTA4, The Witcher 3)
-
11 games ran but with poor performance (Starfield, Alan Wake 2, TLOU1, Hellblade 2, Dragon's Dogma 2, Yakuza Like a Dragon, Metro: Last Light, +4 more not specified).
-
He also had problems running with multiple monitors.

Older games seem to mostly run fine, newer games seem to be the ones more likely to have problems.
the team found that time on the moon ticks by at 0.0000575 seconds faster per day (57.50 µs/d) than it does on Earth. Based on that number, other calculations can be made—if a person were to live on the moon for 274 years, for example, they would be 5.76 seconds older than they would be had they lived on Earth all that time.
The FM tuner is a narrow band pass filter centered at the carrier frequency - it doesn't try to track the modulation. The FM demodulator then uses a VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) with a phase detector in a feedback loop, so that the output of the VCO tracks the modulated input signal. The input to the VCO then represents the baseband (demodulated) signal.
No, "we" don't.
This is not a federated bandcamp, it's a platform for bands to do marketing across mutliple various social networks from one web portal.
Godus was a huge disappointment, basically a "what if Populous was a mobile skinner-box clicker with time-gating and micro-transactions?"
Magic Carpet (1994) was a really interesting take on the genre, also by Bullfrog. Imagine the god-sim mechanics of Populous combined with a 3D flight-sim/shooter and you get Magic Carpet.
Their post is specifically about Populous: The Beginning which came out in 1998 and was the first Populous game to use 3D graphics. It has quite different mechanics than the original Populous games, and you can see the DNA of Black & White emerging, with the concept of having a leader character that has an important role in the gameplay.
