I once knew a munchkin who literally had the GM say to them exasperatedly something like "Fine, you win!". The munchkin naturally replies with "But, you can't win at D&D", to which the GM just said "And congrats, you managed it anyway.", at which point the GM ended the campaign.

I ran a cyberpunk red campaign as the GM. I set up a storyline where the group was captured by Arasaka using an experimental “flashbang” that would shut down anyone with neural implants (the whole group). The dumbest of my group attempted to escape that. He rolled a nat 20 and I had him literally commit ego death inside his mind to “wake up.” Inside the AV they were all trapped in was my version of the head of arasaka security. Basically an undefeatable t-1000.
He rolled a nat 20 again and woke everyone on the av up with advantage. Then the fucking rockerboy convinced the head of security to save him rolling his own nat 20 while the others worked to override/crash the AV before it could land at arasaka
So I ended up having the rockerboy being wrapped in a big hug by the head of security and jumping out as the av crashed (the tech lowered the speed). So the rockerboy survived with like no damage, the head of arasaka security was fucked up, the team survived, and never made it to the entire narrative I had planned.
10/10 would GM again

Virgin Silverhand: Sets off a nuke and barely anyone even remembers him or his band, gets soul killed.
Chad random rockerboy: Restarts his own brain with pure willpower and immediately talks a decades long Arasaka supersoldier into helping him.

I mean there's the other approach, had the GM tell us that he didn't do as much prep as he hoped but game was still on.
My response "I'll do my best to be inefficient"
Then again the character I'm playing is with a group I've played with for years, and I sat down with them before it started with "I'm about to play possibly my most irritating character concept and I want everyone on board before I finalize."

I prefer to get the DM to laugh and/or this:
-
Por que no los tres?
-
-
I became a much better player after I DM'd.
It taught me that it is possible to thread the needle and do both.
-
We found it! The type of player I would never want to play a ttrpg with. 😐

"Sorry DM, I just want to say before we get started: thank you all for coming to my story-time one-man show. And now, if you'll observe my PowerPoint, I will begin my character introduction..."

Please just write a fanfic

"Eat your dice, Brennan!"

I like to imagine doing that but doing it is just shitty and unnecessary, and probably not fun ...
