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...

Also, just a quick heads-up that I've changed the joltbux items in my shop and will be following an annual release schedule from this point on. I'll send out a little note each time it changes.

My internet is absolutely terrible today; can hardly do anything. I hope this post gets through!

Five new reward stickers are available for all who place charged stickers on my posts! Also, five returning sleepy cats.

If you didn't master the other stickers in time, they'll return, don't worry.

Hope everyone's week is off to a great start!

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...

【No Man's Sky】

Possibly the most barren desert moon I've seen so far. Kind of mesmerizing. I installed a base computer just in case I want to try and build something cool here eventually.
