Listen, I wanna see you two do things.

Jesus Christ, Jake, phrasing.

Dude, they’re not doing anything they don’t want to. They want my sweet cheddar, and I wanna see some stuff in exchange. It’s mutual, free market!

Outer Worlds is a setting parodying late-stage capitalism. As just one example, early in the game you hear the story of a person who committed suicide and was consequently fined for destruction of company property.

So when I referenced the game earlier in the episode, apparently I was bang on the money, just not for the reason I thought.

Jake gave himself a seat belt even though the whole car is just him shapeshifting. Nice detail.

[mindareadsoots]

What the heck?

It’s that elephant from the episode where Jake stretched himself out too much.

[mindareadsoots]

I’ve never really spent money before. I’ve only stolen it, or horded it.

Yeah, that sounds right.

[mindareadsoots]

They just left the elephant here this whole time?

That was like 4 seasons ago.

“Hi, you’re probably wondering how I ended up here.”

People like to say money can’t solve all of your problems.

That’s technically true, but the list of problems money can solve is pretty damn long.
