* CrapsackWorld: The world that Ouya comes from. [[spoiler:It originates from an alternate future where a race of higher beings, the "aliens" (though not really; information on their exact nature is vague), have eradicated free will and subjected all life on Earth to a tyrannical regime that has essentially rendered free will obsolete. They maintain this control using reality warping devices, of which Ouya is. At some point, a resistance movement was formed that Ouya joined after it began to question its creators, only to be crushed almost immediately. Ouya remained the sole survivor of this movement, and used its abilities to travel through time and space, repeatedly dismantling and reestablishing civilizations over countless ages in an effort to prevent the future it came from from ever existing. It comes close to completing its goal when it obtains a much more powerful reality warping device from the "aliens", but thanks to Heart of America, it fails.]]

** When Ouya is explaining his reason for creating the supercomputer, we get this jab at the system's popularity (or lack thereof):
--->'''Ouya:''' I created computers in my image and sold them as video game machines. The plan was to put an Ouya in every home in the developed world, to create a global network of Bitcoin-generating machines.
