So I downloaded a whole bunch of free or pay-what-you-want Game Boy games off itch.io for my Game Dad. They're all made with GB Studio (which is a free super-easy game-making program to make Game Boy games) and so far they're all pretty chill.
A highlight is Analog Age Rainy Day, which has you playing as a kid trying to survive a rainy day; catch is it's 1984 so there's no phones or game boy or anything so you've gotta find ways to amuse yourself.
A lovely benefit of using the Game Dad for Game Boy games is the ability to shift the palette so that it's red-on-black for playing in bed without giving me insomnia. It only works for Game Boy games though, not Game Boy Colour or Advance; I wish this were an option I could toggle in Retroarch for all my games.
I'm getting into the idea of writing my own Game Boy game and I think I want to make it about a tiny smol officeboy/retailboy who gets laid off and joins a moving company to make a bit of quick cash, and finds that he loves using his body and feeling those aches and becoming stronk. And like this is possible now, it's very do-able to make a game that isn't about saving the world or whatever, doesn't have to have mass appeal enough to justify burning a bunch of ROMs and moulding a bunch of cartridges, you can chuck it up on the internet as easily as we could copy a tape game in a boombox thirty years ago and if ten people fall in love with it then Hooray.

New to federated instances, so forgive the noob question.
open-source.social supports GitHub login, but k-bin does not.
My understanding is that accounts can be accessed with any instance that federates with this instance, so my question is this:
How can one login to k-bin when the account was made on open-source.social using the GitHub flow?
You don't. Your local instance (open-source.social) pulls down the information from the remote (kbin.social).
For example if you go to open-source.social, select the hamburger menu next to kbin you'll get a drop down with the word magazines, select that.
In the search box type "kbinmeta", you will see one result "[email protected]". That tells you the magazine is on a remote instance. Select the "[email protected]"
Someone on open-source.social has already subscribed so the instance already contains posts/comments from kbin.social.
When no one on your instance has subscribed the magazine will be empty. Subscribe and your instance will start displaying posts made from that point
Hello everyone, we have a new cool and very important feature!
Now when you visit another user profile, you can MUTE them or BLOCK them!
So, is @gabboman cluttering the local explore for you? You can just mute him! if he mentions you you will recive the notifications, and you could see the posts on your dashboard if you follow him, but no more in the local explore tag!
You can manage who you follow and who you have blocked in your settings, now it has some new pages!
We are working on some rough edges on the user2user blocks, and a "block server" functionality, that would allow you to block every interaction with a server if you chose to. We still encourage you to fill a report and message your admin (this account or @gabboman ) and tell us about the problem. If you tell us, we can protect everyone here by fully blocking the user and/or the server at the instance level.
