>playing
just finished axiom verge, kind of forced myself to finish it actually, overall an ok game, but nothing too special as far as metroidvanias go

>modding
i sure tried to mod custom borders on DOSBox, hell i managed to do it on windows, published my mod and everything, but when i tried to run the modded DOSbox on the steamdeck using proton, it ran like ass

the thing is, im a GOOD programmer, but ive barely touched C++, and ive barely touched linux, and this crap is running through proton, theres 10 million things that could be going wrong here, not to mention the original code i used to develop my mod, was already a modded version of DOSbox, and the way the previous guy implemented shaders on DOSBox using SDL 1.2 is kind of hacky

no offense to the guy, i learned a lot reverse engineering his stuff, but this code is not portable in the slightest, unlike my dear precious Java

>emulating
to be honest, i havent emulated a single thing on my steam deck, not counting game collections on steam that emulate old games
