Love it. Though it's a little glitchy in my dual-head setup: The goose would stay in one monitor (primary one, i guess?), and windows created by the goose will appear in another monitor before being dragged out. Not a complain, just so you can know.
This is great! But the mouse feature doesn't seem to work with Counter-Strike (edit: have also tried Team Fortress 2 with no luck), which is definitely a game most people would love to try this with. Also, it would be really cool if the more "antagonistic towards gameplay" version would be publicly available rather than sending a message to download it. Keep up the good work!
Let it run for a few minutes, it was funny, then my Windows BSOD'd with an irql_less_than_equal error. I do have my memory timings changed/overclocked, but no other app or stress testing, including karhu, has caused an error in any way over two weeks of use until I opened and used this app.
So I think something is wrong with the memory usage. It wasn't leaking, it was only using 16mb, but still, that's kinda weird. Just a heads up.
Maybe you can also have the goose drag desktop files, folders, and shortcuts to different spots on the desktop. Will sometimes hoard things to one spot.
would it be possible to make one version that does everything, except let the goose actually take control of the mouse. IE it still follows the mouse, still does all the popups and annoying things but never nabs/takes over the mouse. That would make it ideal for me and my adhd!! Love regardless mate!
Its amazing so far but id love to see integration with multiple screens in the future if its even possible at all, since the goose only wanders around the main screen and becomes invisible if it chases you into the second screen. keep up the good work!
I appreciate your concern! I know this might not mean much coming from me, so check all the people running it in the tweet thread like this. It's actually super-safe. Everything is contained within the program, the goose doesn't mess with your files, and there's certainly no machine learning for the goose?
I maybe get why it might trip up a virus scanner though - I'm doing weird windows stuff. If you want to send me your version zip/scanner log, I'm curious what specifically is setting that off, and my communication channels are always open!
It's Malware Bytes and it's not even reporting it as malware. This type of warning is an anomaly. It says it doesn't fit patterns. It's one of my least favorite alerts from the software because it misleads people that don't look into the actual warning. https://blog.malwarebytes.com/detections/machinelearning-anomalous-100/
Def see how Malware might be worried, considering what this app does. I haven't downloaded the app but maybe this will help you figure it out.
I'm really interested in your work,how can I contact you? would you please be kind to say how can I create simple games like this too ? I'm looking for basics and tutorials, I'd be appreciate if you help me in this way. Thank you Mr. Samperson.
HOW DID YOU MAKE YOUR GOOSE? i realy want to be able to make something like that, and i would realy apreciate it if u taught me how to make something like it.

Thank you for this, I miss having desktop pets <3
Wow, it works on Linux with wine, and... one moment: it has a bug when multimonia is on:

For all the people worried about it being a virus, it's fine: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/a9c00d5b19c1d1d7b757c66cd82868b6bfad093dc95a...
If I also install BonziBuddy will they fight to the death?
That's awesome! It does remind me of the desktop pets and thingies from 90's and 2000's.
If you can need, I can translate duk's text from the widows jokes for brasilian portuguese
I absolutely love this. It's hilarious and original.

I scanned it with Malwarebytes and it came up clean for me

launch it in a Container, Most Antivirusses add that option while left clicking the .exe

I also have this problem, and I even made few screenshots of this.
The goose become invisible in one of the screens if you use two monitors. It also stole my cursor... again. Why did I installed it in the first place?
how do i disable the goose if i don't want it on my screen for a bit? do i have to uninstall it?
Hold the escape key down for several seconds!
Be warned, I scanned this and it has malware.

Though maybe that's a next step for the goose AI.
Not sure what virus scanner that is.

can i use task manager to stop the file
According to the readme, you can quit the goose by holding ESC for a few seconds.
