Desktop Buddies, or as I like to call them: Shimejis are tiny cartoon people who walk/crawl on your window borders. Been wondering if anyone here knows about them. As far as I know you can get them in two varieties. Web browser extension or as a binary that runs locally. Here's the implementations of the Desk-top Buddy system that I know.

I've never heard of this before. I tried to install it on Chromium, and it kind of works but it's pretty buggy. Sometimes they glitch out and don't even show on the page. Nonetheless it seems like a cool idea.

I've known about these ever since 2010. I thought everyone knew about them.

The only time I've ever seen one of these is when some dude in my uni class put a goose from the goose game on his computer and was trying to impress chicks with it
