Comic Transcripts

[[Indoors. A kitchen. CRAYLIA has earbuds in her ears, and her eyes closed. BARBATHA shouts from out of frame to get her attention.]]

BARBATHA: Hey Craylia, did you… CRAYLIA. CRAYLIA.

[[Craylia removes one earbud and turns toward Barbatha with her eyes open.]]

CRAYLIA: OH, sorry! I was just–
BARBATHA: Drums deep in a PODCAST, I know!
CRAYLIA: Yes, I like to fill my idle moments with enlightenment and entertainment! Right now I’m listening to one called EYE BEFORE ME.

CRAYLIA: The hosts track down and interview ALL THE PREVIOUS OWNERS of a subject’s GLASS EYE. It’s actually quite fascinating…full of pathos AND interesting tidbits about the glass eye secondary market. Did you know ALL KNOWN GLASS EYES were manufactured between 1740 and 1915? NONE since then! The WAR killed the last guy who knew the secret! Like STRADIVARIUS!

BARBATHA: Sorry, I started singing to myself when I sensed you growing excited.
CRAYLIA: Seeing a FULL PLAYLIST is like pulling a warm blanket out of the dryer. I never have to be alone. Podcasts are the promise of the internet made real. No matter what I’m into, or what mood I’m in, SOMEONE out there is making something that speaks to me.
BARBATHA: I’d feel like I was in front of a firehose. Are you LISTENING to them all? Or are they just building up in your phone like digital cholesterol?

[[Craylia has returned her earpod to her ear and closed her eyes again.]]

CRAYLIA: Right now I’ve got unlistened-to episodes totaling… 875,122 HOURS.
BARBATHA: That’s TWICE as long as you’re likely to LIVE!
CRAYLIA: Well…there’s actually a lot of promising research being done into increasing the human lifespan… I heard about it on a podcast

Bolted! Shipping is UNDERWAY

April 4, 2026 by David Malki !

Bolted! games have been shipping to backers over the last couple of weeks! The non-US orders are (mostly) done and some folks have been reporting receiving them already!

@davidmalki.com My game arrived today!! It looks gorgeous 🙂 Hope you are well 🙂

My US inventory of games is now in-country, but still being staged at the fulfillment centers. It’s being distributed to regional warehouses, so the actual shipping to backers happens more efficiently. I hope the bulk of US shipping will start next week.

These are what the cartons (and games) look like!

I am also waiting on the bonus cards to be finished printing! I ended up needing many more of those than I had anticipated, so I decided to have the game factory print those too, for perfect matching with the base game cards.

Most people will be receiving two separate mailings: the game itself, and “anything else” (bonus cards and/or add-ons) which will be sent by me personally.

As of today, 86% of backers have completed their surveys so far! That’s pretty good, but it’s not everyone. I know YOU PERSONALLY have already completed YOURS though, so no worries!!

We have now moved OFF of Kickstarter and ONTO BackerKit for any new orders. You can bundle a game with basically anything else I sell on that there website, it’s pretty nuts!
