Hey, that looks like a successful session to me! They saw and interacted with most of what was prepared and there were even a few RP-driven decisions

Yeah. Not everything has to be a movie. If you want the little dudes to do exactly what you had laid out for them, get some action figures man. If you want your players to play on the playground just give them some toys, a rough objective, and let 'em run around.
If you want your players to interact with something, make it either related to something they already care about and actively want to achieve, or else thrust them into the middle of it without any choice about it. If instead of that you turn them loose in the dungeon and they just run around having fun killing monsters and having hijinx then there is nothing in the world wrong with that and it is the expected result

Recycle your unvisited rooms for next dungeons. I know it’s cheap, but hey you’re the only one who would know.
I’ve got an NPC who has been in the last six towns because nobody ever wants to talk to them

I hope you make him remember and grow his resentment for your players until he snaps.

Then Timmy fucking died
Maybe too reddit-ish?

He died? But I didn’t even see his shoes come off!
Reddit-ish enough?

Or my experience with D&D…
Encounter giant pit monster
Everyone argues for 20 mins about how everyone else should use their turn
Repeat until monster is dealt with
Run out of time of the the evening, so go home
Chess clock / egg timer. If they don’t decide fast enough then no action for them! You don’t even need to actually do this (it would be a bit extreme in most situations), but the threat that it might happen should give them the necessary kick. Too much time deliberating? This monster just remembered it can take a legendary action on your turn!
