#762; Another Complaint Stymied

Comic Transcripts

[[A lady sits in a chair, holding a fan.]]
Lady: Do you realize there are probably products in this world that have made no one happy at all, ever.
Lady: The person on the oil rig wasn’t happy. The people in the plastic refinery or whatever weren’t happy. The guy driving the truck and the kid stocking the store shelves were both unhappy.
Lady: Someone bought it for a birthday she didn’t want to attend, the recipient hated it, the dude at the Goodwill threw it away and the garbageman destroyed it.
Lady: And it’s incredibly unlikely that there exist ANY products in which every part of that supply chain WAS happy. Someone was having a bad day SOMEWHERE.
Lady: Which means that overall, the net happiness of all products in the world combined is negative.
Lady: We’re living in a wasteland of misery!

[[The gentleman he is talking to kisses her on the head.]]
Gentleman: Well, that’s why you’re here, sweetie. To balance things back out a bit with your joyfulness.
<>

[[“LATER”: The lady looks very anxious. Her friend talks to her.]]
Friend: Was he being sarcast-
Lady: I don’t KNOW if he was being sarcastic!

{{Alt-text: “This is a serious issue!” she said, to which he responded, gravely and with full eye contact, “Yes. VERY serious.”}}

The vast majority of Bolted! game shipments are already shipped, but I understand if you don’t have yours yet, who cares. Here’s a progress report:

Total orders | 1052
Surveys completed | 992
Fully shipped | 946

Incomplete surveys

Obviously, if I don’t have your shipping address, I can’t ship your game! Let me know if you are missing a survey link. As new responses come in, they are rapidly added to the shipping queue.

Orders containing certain add-ons

Some of the add-ons proved more popular than expected — which is lovely! But it meant I had to reprint some stickers, make all the individual comic prints, request a shipment of books from offsite storage, etc, etc. So, any orders which contain an out-of-stock item are still waiting to ship.

All that missing stuff, though, is en route to me at this very second! So those orders will be going out pretty dang soon!

Custom items

I’ve already been in touch directly with the backers who ordered custom collages! Those will be created (and sent to you) after all the other shipments are complete. I’m excited for those, they’ll be fun! My pleasant dessert after the hearty meal of all the other orders.

Anything wrong?

I’m very grateful to the few folks who’ve contacted me to report some kind of issue with their shipment! Thankfully, problems are rare, but when they do occur, I would like to solve them. Please don’t hesitate to send me an email (replying to your shipping confirmation works great) if there’s anything about your order I can correct.

Reviews & photos

On BoardGameGeek are highly appreciated!

Unless you hate the game! You are entitled to that opinion, but please send that review directly to me instead of telling anyone else, so I can eat it and bury it in the yard and watch it grow into a twisted, gnarled tree. Or whatever!
