Patchy
Patchy is a little robot who lives on your desktop. He fishes, gardens, cooks, catches bugs, and mostly functions without you. He'll sit back, watch movies and react to your local weather. If he is angry he will grab your cursor and nudge your panels around until you give him some attention.

Minimum
Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system OS: Windows 10 64-bit, version 21H1 (build 19043) or newer Processor: Any 64-bit x86 CPU with SSE2. Dual core, 2.0 GHz. Memory: 4 GB RAM Graphics: Any discrete GPU, or integrated graphics from 2020 or later (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Vega or newer). Recommended if you run your desktop at 1440p or 4K. DirectX: Version 11 Additional Notes: Patchy runs as a transparent overlay on your desktop rather than in a window, using Windows desktop compositing. It is Windows only. Performance scales with your desktop resolution, not with what is happening on screen. The scene itself is very light. Rotating between monitors is supported by switching via the taskbar icon. Patchy hides himself when a fullscreen application takes over the display, you can turn this off if you like. The file removal feature requires that Patchy is not run as administrator. Windows blocks drag and drop from normal programs into elevated ones, so an elevated Patchy cannot accept your files. No internet connection is required. Weather reactions are optional and need you to enter your area coordinates yourself inside the app.
