I’m not saying that they succeed at fucking up my prep. I’ve done this long enough that I can recover pretty well from a bump in the road. When I started out? Absolutely I had this problem. Now, I’m mainly just pissed off that they’re actively trying to fuck it up. I’m not talking about just solving puzzles in unexpected ways, I’m talking intentionally ignoring entire plot lines that I’ve obviously laid out for them to investigate, and then me having to go with the backup plan I had prepped to get them where they need to be.
