3 Issues atm that seem to be annoying most.
1) Recent update broke smoke transparency.
2) Many compositors cause black screen like xfwm/kwin, sometimes using wayland can help. (or stay on gnome).
3) Vsync causes input latency issues, possible bad implementation. Be nice if a FPS limiter was an alternative option!

I've got Overgrowth, its like 24GB download or something which is odd as it feels like quite a small game. Just has small levels joined together for the story, mostly empty levels also. No voice either.
Its a fun little combat game with fun jump mechanics, but really makes you wonder why its 24GB.

Played a little bit of Dying Light, had some odd issue where windowed mode was giving better fps then fullscreen, unfortunately game does not have borderless window mode.
Largely I'm waiting for the 6800XT before diving back into my game collection. Need moar frames!

Curious, does RTX features work in these games like Metro? or is that beyond vkd3d?

Stuff like this and vkbasalt can cause freezing and crashing in some games like WarThunder for example. It COULD be a NVIDIA driver issue (1080TI) but has been a problem for quite a while now.
Not all games have this issue, just some.

cybernetic implants are quite expensive for the functional ones. You can bootleg 3d print your own, but its far from amazing like in CP2077 where people are punching through walls.
I think I saw a girl get a arm implant from a company, it was $70k, and that is low tech stuff today.

I don't see the harm in making ISO backups of your legitimate games to run via emulation software on PC, such as PS3 games.
There is some allowance for this in Australian law but I know in the USA the whole government has been infested with anti-pirate corporations which also reach far into backup and self-use, preservation territory which is a sad thing.
Corporations want to ERASE the past so we can only buy their new crap they shovel us.

one more benefit to having a AMD GPU, (as I glare distastefully at my NVIDIA gpu)

Bought it last night,
Everything works, except 3 things.
The UI main menu is real tiny on 4k screens.
It appears to be stuck on 2-speaker output only.
No god rays, obviously
I can't speak for performance so far as I haven't really tested it much past the intro scene, framerate is real good for me on 1080TI but maybe it gets much choppier the further you play as some people have major performance issues and even black screen problems (seems fitting for a game called black mesa).
ANYWAY, might wait for the illusive Linux improvement patch the developer said was going to drop in the beta branch sometime..
