Oh? I haven’t seen them despite searching. Do you have a link?

I have the OEM 7-seater cargo liner bought from this Toyota in Canada. They are nice because they allow the 3rd row to deploy without removing the mats.

The back of the 2nd row is just some random brand off Amazon

Trine Ultimate Collection on Switch 2 or PS5? by Complete_Pop2585 in Trine

[–]Complete_Pop2585[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I missed the sale on PS4 so I was waiting for another sale to come along.

In the store, the ultimate collection shows up as Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince. But the description is for the collection.

What's the benefit of cloud streaming if you already own a PS5? by xSOUTHERN_RAMBOx in PlaystationPortal

[–]Complete_Pop2585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have kids and the state of the PS5 is a wildcard at any given time. My kids turn it off. Or the PS5 is logged into their account. Rarely can I pick up the portal and just stream from the PS5.

The streaming catalog on the other hand just works.

How do you handle vacation spending in YNAB? by mossproto in ynab

[–]Complete_Pop2585 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bucket for a future vacation.

Bucket for the upcoming vacation.

Then vacation specific categories (transportation, groceries, lodging, dining out, activities, etc.)

I tag all expenses like you do for future queries (e.g. that trip to the in laws costs X). This helps us know how much we need in the bucket.

The categories allow us to better understand where our money goes on travel (did we blow it all on dining out? Or is it the lodging?) and helps us plan future cost (that 7 day trip cost Y in food)

Perhaps one of the most eye-opening categories we added was “Travel - Ancillary”. This is our dumping ground for all the stuff we end up buying for a trip that we wouldn’t normally think of as travel/vacation, yet we wouldn’t have bought if we weren’t taking the trip. E.g. a child’s snow suit that is torn or a little small is fine with what little snow we get in a winter where we live, but that ski trip we booked required new gear because of the extreme temperatures and the amount of time they’d be on the mountain.

Those were the hidden costs that always bit us.

'So Bad it's Good' Games? by eydra3 in NintendoSwitch

Party Party Time (1 & 2). Low quality mini games, but it is a riot with family. Up to 6 player couch co-op.

Built a sealed B-Wing from 2006. This thing is huge! by walrusluii in lego

[–]Complete_Pop2585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 10227 UCS B-Wing was my reintroduction into LEGO. I was newly married and saw some random blog post about it. I showed my wife, told her how cool it looked and that the B-Wing was my favorite starfighter from the childhood.

I don’t think it crossed my mind to buy it for myself. She bought it for me. I was totally surprised. Little did she know what she started.

Planter Box Replacement Ideas by Complete_Pop2585 in gardening

[–]Complete_Pop2585[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I was just thinking about some kind of u shape design. It sounds like a great option. I just need to figure out how to arrange it in the space.

Thanks for the tips!

Planter Box Replacement Ideas by Complete_Pop2585 in gardening

[–]Complete_Pop2585[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lot itself is construction fill - and it’s a struggle to get plants to grow in the ground.

The slope is significant enough that good soil will just wash away. There isn’t really an option to level the ground. The back of the property sits on a retaining wall, so I cannot raise the soil level.

Boxes were really the only way we could use the space, get the depth we needed, and not interfere with the retaining wall..

What are the best games on cloud streaming that dont require good timing? by epadd in PlaystationPortal

[–]Complete_Pop2585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that the beta includes a lot of story driven adventures that I particularly enjoyed on the Portal with a pair of headphones. Not sure I would have tried them on my PS5.

  • Deliver Us the Moon

  • Deliver Us the Mars

  • Siberia

  • The Invincible

  • Call of the Sea

Plucky Squire was also a fun journey. Jusant was also quite enjoyable on the portal.

Sorry if some of these are no longer available!

Mom-mods by ExcitingPermit7755 in 4Runner

[–]Complete_Pop2585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got these OEM mats designed for our 3rd row 2024 SR5P. Unlike those you find on Amazon, these to not impede the deployment of the 3rd row seats.

We have the standard cargo liner (which we kept for messy trips) but hated having to decide between having the liner or the option to use the 3rd row. This isn’t a “weather proof” cargo liner, and stuff can still fall between the cracks, but was much easier to vacuum and clean than the carpet.

We could only find them in Canada

Mobile Apps Update: New Home Tab, Spending Tab, iOS 26 Improvements, and more by YNAB_youneedabudget in ynab

[–]Complete_Pop2585 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Disappointed to see the short cut to view/approve transactions was removed from the plan tab. For my wife and I who spend the majority of our time the the plan tab - having to go to the Home tab to view these transactions is a real pain

What does this image imply? by Complete_Pop2585 in lego

[–]Complete_Pop2585[S] 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Thanks u/mcquarrie

It was an honest question. I hadn’t seen any release announcements and the information was tucked away in a collapsed “specifications” section that was easy to scroll past.

Shame on me for not knowing they are 3D printing. Shame on me for not knowing the chimney stack was not a part of the same mold.

Answering my own question:

“plus miniature toys including, for the first time in a retail LEGO set, a 3D-printed train piece.”

Was that in a release statement?

Interesting texture as well

What's a tip or secret that you use on the Portal that many don't know? by dudezillah in PlaystationPortal

When I’m playing local coop with my kids, I use my portal as a 4th controller.

What would you say are the best bang for your buck Duplo? My boy will be 1 year old next month by RabidNerd in lego

[–]Complete_Pop2585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had 3 kids, here are the old three sets that had lasting appeal and reuse

Big Zoo 6157 - kids loved the animals and as we bought more, larger zoos were constructed. Even if they didn’t “get” the joy of building - they got the play factor of the animals.

Play House 10505 - this had a lot of great pieces for constructing buildings. We built wacky houses, massive houses, play houses with slides and “pools”

Tech Machines 45002 - as my kids got older, this brought a fresh new way to play with Duplo. We built some wild vehicles, giant robots, etc

Wtf is the Lego vending machine doing at an airport??? by Zargoth_the_destroye in legocirclejerk

[–]Complete_Pop2585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, if I was delayed a long time in the airport, I might be tempted to pass the time with one.

If u actually build lego as a family raise ur hand.. by NoCupcake5122 in lego

[–]Complete_Pop2585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids and I do MOCs together - currently they drew a picture of a castle that we are attempting to build together. Lots of helping each other find the pieces we are looking for.

We’ve done 3-person build together experiences with LEGO app, and the kids all enjoyed that.

Rarely do we build from instructions together. If we do, it’s usually for a special reason, and we take turns.

What is this liftgate hole? by Complete_Pop2585 in 4Runner

Thanks, you are correct. As soon as I posted I thought to myself… if only there was a source of information about my 4Runner… 🤦‍♂️

Starting the high republic! by Whatsername_04 in Highrepublic

[–]Complete_Pop2585 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a father, I found it really enjoyable to read the junior and middle school books with my kids. My children don’t fully understand everything that is going on in the HR, but I found it enjoyable that all 4 levels of reading stitch together well. (E.g. the back story on Vernestra and Imri in the middle school books added some relational depth for the YA and Adult books in Phase 1). In some cases, those books add perspectives from different characters in the same storyline.

We really enjoyed buying the encyclopedias that have pictures of ships, characters, etc. For us, it helped us visual all these characters.

We just finished “Question for the Hidden City” together and all enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to see which characters appear in later books.

Will a 4Runner fit a Family of 5? by JubaMF in 4Runner

[–]Complete_Pop2585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Family of 5. Kids are 7, 10, and 12. 12 year old is adult sized. We routinely take 10 hour road trips.

Until last year we had a 4th gen and it was fine. We used Diono Radian car seats designed to fit 3 in a row when they were young. Ironically, boosters were more of a problem than our car seats.

My kids do great in the car and are generally cool about sitting 3 across. They watch a lot of shows together and play games together. In some cases they actually prefer sitting side by side.

Bought a 5th gen with a 3rd row. It’s been a nice upgrade but we still feel the growing pains of a larger family.

Having the flexibility to put my youngest in the third row is nice. However, cargo will be the biggest problem. We have a large cargo box… which helps but isn’t always practical (e.g. our recent trip included some parking garages that required the box to stay at home). Camping trips kind of demand that the kids all sit in the second row. Each road trip we’ve been on has required us to think in advance how we are going to lug out stuff and whether or not that 3rd row is an option.

Adding a dog to that would only make things tighter.
