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...

Very toxic, invasive, and the plant is covered with thorns, but even so, I'm always excited to see these horse nettle berries. The colour is so nice.

In about half an hour from now (February 5, 2026 at 6 a.m. PT / 9 a.m. ET), there will be a Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase presentation.

Anything in particular you'd like to see announced from Nintendo partners?

Hope everyone's week is off to a good start! I'm brainstorming ideas for a "farmer's market" pattern design challenge.

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

One more post before the weekend, 'cause why not.

Was just testing a new grunge brush I made with a very quick tree doodle, but I'm not sure if I like it yet.

I'll probably have to give it more time + mess with the settings to know for sure.

Hey everyone, hope you're having a good weekend. I'm just spending some time with one of my squirrel friends. Take care, love y'all!

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...

The worst bug I've dealt with? #Devruary
