cool, I never knew! Somehow the game I thought it would add a feature is still lacking it. For some reason rumble on my xbox joystick with Enter the Gungeon never worked. I thought it was because of an old SDL version, because experimentation showed that. But by using the SDL_DYNAMIC_API env and loading my system SDL the game still not added rumble to my joystick. Ohwell.

SDL_DYNAMIC_API is a relatively recent addition (IIRC 2014), so static SDL2 builds from before that won't work this way.
