I review manga, anime, and other things over at www.fandompost.com! Used to make newspapers and greeting cards, always looking for another dying industry to chain myself to. Currently falling under through second floors in cursed houses. She/Her/Hey You.

Today I get to unveil the UK cover for THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS!
The art is by the legendary Stephen Player, who has done art for Barker and Pratchett. I adore how he shows off the different personalities of Garrodigh's heads!
It comes out in the UK from @arcadiabooks.bsky.social this July!

The Highway Code rule 112b: LED headlights
![[Cartoon strip pastiche of the Highway Code, with illustrations describing the text]
[Title panel]:
The Highway Code
Rule number 112b:
LED headlights
In recent years, many
new cars have been fitted with extra-bright LED headlights.
LED headlights increase safety by illuminating every detail of the road ahead
Including the face of the person driving a metal box towards you at a combined speed of 80mph
Whom you have just blinded with your LED headlights.
LED headlights must be fitted at eye-level on a great big murderous wall of car.
[Show a car crumpling into the front of a high-fronted SUV, bathed in light from the blinding headlamps]
They must be permanently on full beam, because you are insane.
And they should be bright enough to make other drivers think they are ascending into a blinding vortex of alien light
Like them old people in the classic Ron Howard film, Cocoon (1985).
[Show illustration of the final scene where the older people on the boat are being yoinked up into the blindingly-illuminated cloaca of the big spaceship]
So remember: you must use LED headlights
To prevent everyone from not crashing into you.
[Image shows this happening]

Some have contacted the FCC over Crunchyroll, but many haven't referenced shows that previously aired on TV, & they won't act unless the show was televised. However, we've found at least with Mobile Suit Gundam & Iron Blooded Orphnans that HAVE aired on TV. Start with those 2 shows as reference.
I believe a strong case could be made that CR's egregiously sloppy captions on so many shows violate FCC regulation 47 C.F.R. § 79.1(j)(2), (3), and (k), per the CVAA act of 2010, which applies to streaming.
It may be time for people to start bombarding the FCC Consumer Complaint Form.

It's seriously Tolkien-level, particularly in gaming. It's a Mitochondrial Eve of like 70%of extraction shooters and 95% of slavjank.
It’s ridiculous how influential Roadside Picnic has been.
