more professor layton, finished chapter seven and think iโm about halfway through chapter 8? there was a long chunk towards the end where i couldnโt save cos it was all cutscenes or dialogue but difficulty-wise it wasnโt too bad. this marks my fourth (at least) japanese game in a row with police corruption as a relatively major plot point, i donโt know if iโm just noticing it more or iโm picking the wrong (right?) kinds of games here 
todayโs nhk article was this one (which they seem to have updated since), did three parts and finished a granblue chapter, and read the entries on ใใ and ใใจ in aDoIJG
