Cvolton @cvolton.bsky.social · 18/09/2026tl;dr it's a deliberate fix because it would be way slower with geode otherwise 130
Cvolton @cvolton.bsky.social · 18/09/2026gets added as its own search path. This means that instead of 3 calls per object, it would be something like 100 in the average installation. Geode fixes this by skipping the search if it detects this hardcoded texture name (cc_2x2_white_image). 130
Cvolton @cvolton.bsky.social · 18/09/2026in the game files. This results in what I imagine will be like 6000 "does this file exist" (I believe there's 2 per button/object) calls in the vanilla game every time you open the editor. With Geode this number would be astronomically bigger, since each mod and each texture pack (c) 130
Cvolton @cvolton.bsky.social · 18/09/2026This one is actually probably not Wine specific - in fact the freeze can theoretically be longer onWindows Every single button in the editor uses a placeholder sprite at first. This button uses a special texture that's hardcoded in the game engine but the game still wastes time trying to find it(c) 140
Cvolton @cvolton.bsky.social · 18/09/2026if youre on linux, theres a wine bug that makes all uploads done by gd itself extremely slow (capped at roughly 100 KB/s), which doesn't affect web requests made by mods, so this mod also accidentally fixes that lol (and you can use the "fastreq" mod to fix this specific issue for level uploads) 230

Cvolton @cvolton.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I think GitHub has the biggest stretch of a definition of "All Systems Operational" out of all big tech services because I wouldn't exactly call "takes 5 minutes to load any repo and you can't upload files into releases" operational 110

Cvolton @cvolton.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Thank you Gemini, this is exactly why I asked, you're such a great replacement for Google Assistant 020
Cvolton @cvolton.bsky.social · 23/07/2026I also suspect the android screen recordings might be affected by a bug in a single hardware encoder (the samples I have are from a Vega R3 and an unknown HTC phone, both might've used the same or similar SOC) but I agree that finding and reversing the source of the mismatch would be the best bet 000
Cvolton @cvolton.bsky.social · 23/07/2026you are correct that it's definitely a very similar phenomenon (the shift is especially visible in greens when I try to explicitly simulate it, though perhaps using ffmpeg for this is a flawed method to begin with) but the results are different 100
Cvolton @cvolton.bsky.social · 22/07/2026BT.601 getting misinterpreted as BT.709 is nowhere near as noticeable on real footage though, so it can't be just a simple mixup (though I did stumble upon Max Lebled's blog during research and the color bars example he had there did point me towards the direction of color spaces being involved)blog.maxofs2d.netBT.601 vs BT.709EDIT in mid 2019: apparently I’m pretty high up there in the Google rankings for “bt 601 vs 709″, so, hi everyone!

Cvolton @cvolton.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Decided to write up a blog post about the ancient Windows Movie Maker bug where it completely messed up colors of some images. It's not exactly a scientific write up but it doesn't seem that anyone ever tried to dive deep into this, so hopefully it can be a useful starting point 23711

Cvolton @cvolton.bsky.social · 05/09/2025Not sure, I assume metadata like the song used and level length played a role In reality it usually just found a bunch of unrelated stuff for old levels and for newer levels it just gave you the level itself and a bunch of its copies 000
Cvolton @cvolton.bsky.social · 05/09/2025It gave you levels the server thought were similar to the one you were playing - I always imagined it a bit like the equivalent of the "recommended" section you see next to YouTube videos 100

Reposted by CvoltonEdness @edness.bsky.social · 05/06/2025How's so-obscure-it-might-as-well-be-lost media for ya? Growing up, I had this DVD of a show called Floc which was translated to Estonian (Pipp?), Latvian (Ūdens stāsts), Lithuanian (Sniegius), and Russian (Флок). (Estonian title might be wrong, that's just what's sung in the intro in place of Floc) 141
Cvolton @cvolton.bsky.social · 18/05/2025breaking news: RobTop just capped level search at 501 pages - loading any page over this number just loads page 501 over and over (unless you filter for rated levels only) 1140
Cvolton @cvolton.bsky.social · 15/04/2025CORRECTION: This button is meant to play an ad, it just doesn't work anymore Unlike the current GD spinoffs, here it seems that you don't get any rewards for doing this - you only give RobTop money This is what you were actually meant to see 0150
Cvolton @cvolton.bsky.social · 24/03/2025can someone help me out? I recall reading that Etzer got banned from Newgrounds and had to ask to be unbanned before he could upload his own songs - while this doesn't seem to be true, it's likely that I'm just confusing him with another GD creator/artist. Anyone know who? 050
Cvolton @cvolton.bsky.social · 07/03/2025Dear Friends of Geometry Dash, I would like to apologize for spreading misinformation. In my last video I said that "BP Night" was the first level to get unrated because of a secret way. This is false - it was actually "Fire Countless" by Mask (formerly 6*). BP Night only lost its rating later. 071
