Philips Hue have the ability to work without internet and it seems like a lot of people like them, though they are kind of expensive. I've used Sengled bulbs before and they were fine, not sure how well they work without internet. But I think for you the problem isn't the bulbs reliance on the internet, they just seem very forgetful. For both Hue and Sengled, when the power comes back on after being out, they just start working again on their own after about a minute. No need to reset anything.

The main non-techy issue even for locally controllable smart things is that the big voice assistants are all entirely internet dependent. So even though Hue bulbs are technically controllable locally if your internet is out, Alexa and Google Home both won't be able to do anything with them.

An expansion bundle I think. The base game is free to play now, but this is a pack of paid missions and stuff

I've been fully on board with base 12 for years. Didn't know about RPN until this post. I'm convinced.

This is the way to do upgrades! Same size, same layout so any accessories work with everything. Valve's truly the best

Similar to this I've been playing so much Brotato on my deck
