おまけ | omake

Omake means extra in Japanese. Its primary meaning is general and widespread. It is used as an anime and manga fandom term to mean “extra or bonus”. In the USA, the term is most often used in a narrow sense by anime fans to describe special features on DVD releases: deleted scenes, interviews with the actors, “the making of” documentary clips, outtakes, amusing bloopers, and so forth. However, this use of the term actually predates the DVD medium by several years.

So, what is an omake section doing here?

Well, I found it very appropriate to include here miscellaneous things that I don’t think can fit anywhere else and yet I feel like to keep. Maybe you can enjoy them, as well.

Gaming

This section aims to consolidate general information about the games I play. I’m a fan of roguelikes and roguelites, mostly, although games like ETS2, one of my all-time favorites and a couple of others may be listed here.

Balatro: Balatro is a (very addictive) poker-themed roguelike deck-building game released on February 20th, 2024 on Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. The aim of the game is to play poker hands to score points and defeat "blinds", while improving the deck and purchasing joker cards with passive effects.

Technology articles I wrote

Here are some technology related articles I wrote many years ago, to a couple of Brazilian sites. Although I had never before written articles to any other sites other than my own, doing so proved to be a nice, nevertheless short lived, experience.

Note that these articles are all written in Brazilian Portuguese.
