Remember the Ink Localisation tool I made?
I've just updated it with support for PO/POT files.
YMMV, as ever. Nag me if I broke something! Hope folk find it useful:

I can't help but second this: Database functions in Ink are great ❤

Waiting for a good time to buy new PC components feels weirdly like waiting for the best moment to sell turnips to Tom Nook in Animal Crossing.

#UnityTips
On Web builds: do you want to make a "full screen toggle" using components?
Then execute the code using the OnPointerDown event in an Event Trigger component instead of using the Button's OnClick, otherwise you need to click twice in the active screen to make it happen, apparently!
One of the many things that may get my gaming card revoked: I was mainly a UO kid, so having never played Everquest I was today years old when I found that Champions of Norrath (that I have played at friend's place back then) is set in the same universe.

A screenshot of the dominicarmato.com website, showing a black and white (and blue) image of Dominic's eyes, the title "Dominic Armato — Voice Actor," and an audio player labeled "Interactive Demo."
Big news (for me)! Signal boost appreciated!
TL;DR: I’ve posted a new interactive voiceover demo at dominicarmato.com, and I’m lookin’ for work.
For the long version, read on!… (1/7)
I should point out that 2 games for $20 is 2 for the price of 1.
