This is more than totally stupid but . . . how do I start it? I installed it and the goose behaved atrociously as expected. I camped out on the ESC key and he (finally) went away. But a new day has dawned and I'm trying to find out how to start him again. There's nothing in the config.INI file about it. Do we have to install it to run it?
Meanwhile, please tell me he won't eat/steal/etc. the birds, flowers, et al from my meadow.
ok so how do i delete it bc it says it is a virus(my brother will be MAD) and i cant move it anywhere its not a folder its the extractor
How long is the plushie available for? And what do you mean by "bonus fun"? So it's exclusive to those who bought the toy?
It's ran through makeship, i believe it is a limited run so you can buy before the end date but after that you can't, so as of writing this 19 days to buy it
is a virus
incase any one is wondering, this little jerk works via wine (im running arch w/ kde x11)
It's buggy but it works. I'm using KDE with X11 too.
idk what to do i cant find the file to open up the goose

Amazing! Its really fun to play with that little piece of sh*t
Thanks for making this masterpiece :3
can i download this on my phone, if yes, then how will i turn it off (im on a mobile phone)
this question looks like someone found a way to do it and now it a chaos
I just wanted to make this comment for anyone who is worried because their antivirus is detecting this as a virus/malware. Malware is technically anything that messes with your computer "without your permission." That is exactly what the goose does, however, you are fully aware of it, but this does cause it to read as malware for some antiviruses. It is completely safe
i acctually wanna know how to allow aces
Add an exception in your antivirus settings
how do I download this on iPad ?
can I download this on iPad?
BRUH WHEN YOU CLICK NO THANKS TAKE ME TO DOWNLOADS YOU WILL ACTUALLY GET IT FOR FREE
it's optional to pay for
im gonna regret this.
where's the 32bit version?
If i get this how do i turn it off
hold escape and it will close
yeah idk how to turn it off-
it didn't work
u just run closegoosedesktop.bat
Hey, if I download is there an off button for the goose?
Yes, there is. If you go to downloads and then DesktopGoose v0.3 you should see a file that says Close Goose. You just need to click on that, and the goose should dissapear.
no. goose is forever.
just hold the escape key and it will close
i scanned the file with virustotal and it told me this had malware and a trojan in it? idk if its true or not though someone tell me please
It's not a virus, some antivirus detects it as as virus, but it's not (this is why youtubers call this a virus)
are you certain?
a ton of ppl prank their friends with it and it is annoying but no it is not a virus
malware is technically anything that messes with your computer "without your permission," so it will say it is a virus, but it is not. It's completely safe, you can easily get rid of it, it will just scan as a virus due to its nature as something that messes with your computer.
this virus
no, is not
its not your antivirus is wrong
So uh-
how do i delete the goose
task manager
hold esc
this is the most cutes things ever! my best friend
if one more person says it's a virus i'm going to explode
its a virus im going to explode
what
first friend in my live
how do I change the colors of the goose?
Read the changelog, just replace .goos with .ini .
I did.
I downloaded it and found out how to get 2 gooses. you have to copy and paste the app so you have 2 of the app and activate both of them.
Its so fun
I adore thi
this a virus?
yes it is
realy oh sh*t
it's not
i accidentally made two geese on my screen and when i try to delete them it only deletes one of them :( help?
nvm i got it
it contains malware because the modding is not official at all and some files are viruses, for remove the goose you simply hold esc
how does one *ehem* disable him without uninstalling? I just wanna play slime rancher man.
HAHA Just hold the escape key to evict the goose.
Ohhh thanks so much! Now I can play my games without goose-y interruptions.
No problem xD That goose can be a real asshole
it keeps on saying this app is a spyware
It's just because it has to track your movements and AV programs can't tell the difference between that and spyware.
I'm trying to get desktop goose
perchè non riesco a installarlo con windows 11?
idk
I had to use google translate to answer, if Win11 is anything like Win10, you have to run it in compatibility mode for Win10.
*I only speak english
Is there a way to capture the goose and its Hijinx on OBS Studio?
you add the programe to the screencapture
is there a goose counter?
That's A Great Idea!
thanks
does this delete files
no
Love it!
Does anyone have any idea how it works? Can't find anything online.
