Mind-numbing facts relating to Speed Racer's Japanese title follow... Enter at your own risk.


(1) In Japan, Speed Racer's title = Mach ("mahha") GoGoGo.
(2) The Japanese name for the main character, Speed Racer, = Go Mifune.
(3) "Go" = 5 in Japanese.
(4) "Go" in English = to move or proceed.
(5) Go Mifune's car's name = Mahha-go.
(6) The Japanese character pronounced "go" in Mahha-go does not mean 5, but actually means "item number."
(7) Taking the above into consideration, the show's title, Mahha GoGoGo, means "Mach-go Go Mifune Go!"
(8) The M on Speed Racer's helmet can both stand for his Japanese surname "Mifune" and "Mahha-go."
(9) Similarly, the G on Speed's shirt could stand for his first name "Go," or even be a reference to the number 5.
(10) Gogogo is a general Japanese sound effect for rumbling.

I know some of you think the Game Jolt staff is full of puns, and yes we are, but my goodness if this isn't on a completely different level...

Pet portrait for a friend.

Their adopted cat (affectionately named Porch Kitty) disappeared for 5 days (he has never left the house), so I painted this to help them with their loss. Happily, the cat returned home, safe and sound.

I made the graphic for the Emergency Charge Refill, a new item in the GJ shop.

Purchasing gives a quest that immediately fills charges, and it also comes with animated stickers.

@thoro had the idea of a bottle inspired by Zelda!

Also, thank youuu for 16k followers!

It's the start of a new week, and I hope it turns out to be a good one for all of you. Take care of yourselves!

Hold on to your seat, Grandpa! I'm determined to catch up with my notifications!

I found this flower growing on an uncultivated edge of a forest—no idea what it was. It looked like it was singing, though, so I felt the need to give it a bigger audience. Swipe for a close-up photo.

Hope you're all doing well today.

My image host was trying to tell me that my collection of Speed Racer gifs suddenly didn't exist, and I was PANICKING. Wound up just being some weird glitch solved by signing out and signing back in. Phew...
