Dragons dogma 1 and 2 fit the bill I think. 2 more so than the first.

My Dad's gone totally off the rails conspiracy theory nutty.
Fake moon landings, fluoride in the water is mind control, vaccines cause autism and maybe microchips and mind control again, foreign people are simultaneously lazy stealing benefits and stealing all the jobs, my god the racism. He fell into an echo chamber during COVID and hasn't come out again.
The best one was when I was telling him as a healthcare professional on the front lines watching patients and colleagues die that COVID was serious and we should take any opportunity to avoid it and make it better, he told me it was just flu and all fake news.
Yeah I don't talk to my parents much anymore.
Counter question, does it matter? If they have fun by knowing what's coming and being able to prepare for it does that make the experience worse for other players or yourself? If not then who cares let them have at it.
If yes then you need to address it somehow, the usual answer to these sorts of things is to just have an adult conversation with the players about expectations.
If you know your players and that won't work then you have some choices to make, again do you care enough to put in more work on top of already running the game?
If it's going to be an issue and they will abuse access to the module even after you've asked them not to, do you really want to play with them?
If the answer is still yes then I suggest altering things slightly so them having pre knowledge doesn't help, locations of key stuff, attitudes of NPCs, stat blocks/ monsters and enemy placement could all be changed pretty easily with fairly little work, I'd definitely rework the monsters at least, I wouldn't go as far as traps designed to catch them out though that's punishing the party for a player.
Generally speaking a beer is 2 units, in the UK we recommend no more than 14 units in a week. If you want to stop talk to your doctor if you can or seek help. Stopping or reducing is much easier with help.
You can get them individually or in smaller sets too. I've been gradually collecting them for birthdays and Christmas, got the witches and the city watch books now. The covers are gorgeous and the books are surprisingly lightweight for hardbacks so still comfortable to read on the go. I'm going to get the whole set eventually I love the collection.
What's your favourite part of the job? Do you get stage fright?
A good article about making sure all the players actions are resolved in a sensible order. By hearing what everyone plans to do before starting to resolve things you can avoid lots of potential problems.
I must admit that this isn't something I tend to do, I tend to run games without a defined initiative system so just ask my players what they are doing and everyone gets a chance as we go around, this could potentially lead to situations where someone was planning a set up action but another player got there first but my group are pretty happy to say hang on a second it makes more sense for me to do the thing first then you go after so we've never really had a problem with it.
I can see it helping if you had a less familiar gaming group or players who were less happy speaking up when it's not "their turn".
How do you screw up that bad?! I mean they basically benched the ship it's not even narrow or anything.
I'm glad things are moving in the right direction for you. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the move goes well and you settle into your new place well. Moving house is always super stressful even when everything goes well, change is also hard so not surprising your more nervous than excited. That just shows your being realistic at least. I don't really have any advice on keeping friends you move away from, video games are the only thing that's worked for me and not very well. Best of luck to you.
No. Chavs were the school bullies for me growing up so I get a pretty strong visceral ewe from that style choice.
