"So, a few years back, my wife played her first co-op game of Stellaris. I decided to help her through and tried to guide her as best as I could (while maintaining my OWN empire.)

After a while, she kept on complaining about her low energy output. I decided to play customer service. I double-checked that she was making energy districts, that her people were employed, and that her Global Energy Grid was up.

Unfortunately, what I didn't realize was that, despite her nearly being in mid-game, she hadn't researched the tech for an Energy Grid.

I acted as if I was outraged and called her an Amish Mushroom."
