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...

Animal snacks have returned for all my charge supporters!

Wow, has it really been two years since the last time these were collectable, or am I missing something?

Have fun, and thanks for the charges!

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!

Here, take this random doodle painting of Hattie I scribbled while my brain was in sleep mode.

Looks like KniteBlargh is blasting off agaaaain! •ᴧ•

... Wait, that's from the wrong anime.

Squirrel friend almost ate a walnut from my hand! I think I was shaking too much and startled her, though. I was holding a really weird position with like, half my body hanging out the window, and the outside cold air was blasting me.

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

Wanted to try my hand at making a playful minimalist floral pattern, specifically with wallpaper in mind. Probably one of the easiest things I've ever made, but I think the effect is fun.

Hey, hope everyone is doing well today.

Here's a little mograph experiment I made using Blender and Krita. If it doesn't load right away, try refreshing the page or something.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

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...

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.
