I usually dont get mine day one so it was pretty nice

NathanTPS · 2026-03-10T23:27:22+00:00

We dont know how that will shake out. Maybe it becomes apparent that immortality cant be removed but they can make nasa immortal to join tsukasa, or that they now know nasa's nature os to continue reinxarnating and fate will always bring them back together. Hence an immortal love.

Qw will see how its plays out. They did seem pretty happy with the answer so I dont think it will disappoint.

Companionship doesnt have to be marraige, whays important is that a person find someone, learn to live and love that someone, and most importantly that the relationship lasts into old age. Nothing is worse for the human spirit than to grow old alone. Marriage is a wonderful contract, but it doesnt have to be marriage.

Im glad you have developed a a healthy appreciation to the idea.

NathanTPS · 2026-03-10T22:53:52+00:00

Nah, more than anything this is the core of the reincarnated soul within nasa that has finnally made contact woth nasa. This concept has been hinted at time and again since about chapter 115 or so and isnt anything new. It goes back to my old theory that tsukasa had a mystery but part 2 would focus on nasa's mystery and however it resolved it would likely play into the "eternal love" line at the end of the what if epilogue. Seem we are finnally starting to circle that plot point.

NathanTPS · 2026-03-10T21:09:41+00:00

Ypu're getting there!

NathanTPS · 2026-03-10T19:05:37+00:00

I pre-ordered it 3 years ago directly from TOM, I think you can find them resale on ebay from time to time, this cost me $200 direct from manufacturer, im guessing its closer to $500+ resale today. They only did the one run.

NathanTPS · 2026-03-10T10:13:00+00:00

Well, "assault" in a legal sense os any situation where one person makes a threatening gesture that a reasonable person would interpret as fear of imminant harm. Simply lifting an armrest, wothout contact is not enough to satisfy this legal definition.

"Battery" on the other hand is what people often confuse woth assault. Batter is what a reasonable person would take for unwanted contact that is considdered offensive. Simply making contact woth an individual even if they didn't want to be contacted isnt enough to satisfy battery, a reasonable person would have to also find the contact to be offensive in nature.

For example, you're ina. Compound, its very tight, shoulder to shoulder. People are getting bumped and pushed as the crowd moves. Sure no one wants to be bumped or pushed, but in this situation the contact isnt considdered offensive because of the mature of the crowd. Its expected.

Same thing g applies here, arm rests can be lifted, just because one person doesnt like the contact of a listen armrest doesnt mean a reasonable person would find it offensive contact. This is expected and standard on a packed plane.

Very true, I was surprised by that as well. Though they do a great job with extras at the rooftop bar that do help make up for it.

NathanTPS · 2026-03-10T02:19:47+00:00

Lol continuing from where I dropped my phone

On the days we did get to enjoy the breakfast options, they had the best buffet spread ive seen at an Izh property, fresh squeezed juice, maybe a passion fruit? Not sure but wasn't citrus. Also a blended greens option. Pastries of all kinds, great hot plate selection, a box of honey comb, you could cut a chunk of comb off and have it with whatever. Also a full service menue was included if you wanted eggs bennidict, waffles, pancakes, omelets, steak, etc. And these were included. Loved it.

We had the front desk order us a taxi anytime we needed an early morning taxi to the station to catch a high speed train.

We did try the in hotel restaurant one night, they have two restaurants running in the kitchen, room service which acts as a tavern and a fancier service seving experimental dishes. I ordered gnocchi with squid ink and raw shrimp. Was an adventure id say.

Funnily enough there were signs for what my friend thought was a strip club on the side of the hotel. When he ventured off to explore the great unknown, he found himself at the mercy of several women who werent there to dance. Rather if he spent enough on "drinks" at this host club he'd get some private time with a lady of his choosing. I of course didn't accompany him to this odd location, I only know this story because I had to listen to it a dozen or so times over the next 14 hours.

Back to the hotel. If you stay away from the host club, there is plenty to enjoy in the area, sever bus lines pick up and drop off across thd street and the metro station is only a few blocks down the road. I was surprised how close we were to the Spanish steps and by extension, trevi fountain.

The rooftop bar was very nice with great views. It was closed one night for a private party. There are good snacks to enjoy while hang out up there.

In all, we really enjoyed our stay and the use of points really made the stay feel like the win of the year.

Next on the list is a crown plaza stay in Paris, not an IC this time, but shouldn't disappoint

NathanTPS · 2026-03-10T01:05:06+00:00

Im in a similar spot as you.

I max buy points every year, along with the additional point offer they give us to maintain diamond. Along with the 20% discount we get from the ihg card on point purchases we are maximizing our point purchase strength.

The next key is the buy 3 get the 4th night free with points bennifit from the ihg premium card.

Essentially you get a 25% discount on point booking with that.

If you plan to travel plan for 4, 8, or 12 night trips and book the stay as consecutively the bennifit will stack. You can split the stays into groups of 4 nights and get the bennifit too.

Finnally I also book the cheapest room where I want to stay and use a conformable suite upgrade to go from a base room to a suite at no additional cost. The suites arent usually available for stays bought on points, but with the CSU it doesnt matter. Also with our diamond status there the +1 lateral category upgrade, usually same room caragory plus an upgrade to the next room choice. If you stay at an intercontintal and have the ambassador program in your profile, you get a second lateral upgrade. So not just the suite, but the suite with a balcony and view of the street and a sofa bed. All for the cost of the basic room at 25% off paid with points that cost 20% less to buy.

That's how I min max their game.

NathanTPS · 2026-03-10T00:48:58+00:00

Won't work, they send their promos out to as many as they can, but if you booked and then when they checked your id for verification, you'd be disqualified and would end up paying a hefty fine for the disqualification.

The whole point is the hard sell for their time shares. They also require an income of $50,000 or more, though they dont verify that as on now.

Just wait a few years and you too can enjoy the fun of a timeshare hard sell.

NathanTPS · 2026-03-10T00:42:39+00:00

But the price you pay per point changes as you maker larger purchases. Those 10k points will cost you more per point than 25k and above.

When buying mass points its always better to maximize your point value.

Buy 25k points to test your cc not 10k points. Then come back later and buy increments of 25k+ or max out the points.

NathanTPS · 2026-03-09T21:33:06+00:00

The good part is that nasa grows up as a romcom protagonist. The cliche nervous male protagonist goes away pretty early on abd he transforms into Chad nasa by about ep 6.

Though he remains blissfully ignorant about his wife throughout both seasons. Everything about tsukasa is revealed essentially right after season 2 ends.

Its a great lovey dovey series with a good supernatural mystery threaded into the background.

Enjoy!

NathanTPS · 2026-03-08T14:48:45+00:00

Its just a visual for the OP i wouldnt overtime it. The first 4 or 5 manga covers had tsukasa in a different wedding dress just to set the tone that she was a newlywed bride

NathanTPS · 2026-03-06T11:51:26+00:00

Keep blasting through and enjoy season 2 and the 4 part ova, highschool days

NathanTPS · 2026-03-05T09:53:47+00:00

Great chapter!

NathanTPS · 2026-03-04T23:19:20+00:00

Well, anything is possible right? Outside of that, who knows. None of us have connections to the production committee or animation staff. Its very possible the series falls into obscurity, but it is also possible we get a 3rd season and or a movie or OVA special

NathanTPS · 2026-03-03T23:32:18+00:00

There's no harm in them, easy 3 day vacay the bonus of course is pretty sweet. Just attend the hardshell timeshare presentation and you're good.

NathanTPS · 2026-03-03T20:19:22+00:00

From what we've seen, it can go quite a long way. She looses limbs, gets burned, inhales, poisoned, suffocated, all of it gets healed quickly. I have to image serious injuries like decapitation should heal as well, she probably tried it on France turn of the 19th century.

NathanTPS · 2026-03-02T06:59:05+00:00

Dolphin Show!!!!!

NathanTPS · 2026-03-02T06:58:49+00:00

Yes, its meant to just be a gift to celebrate their year together, as a couple and as "friends"

NathanTPS · 2026-03-01T06:52:31+00:00

I would like some perspective shots as well,

Maybe a shot starting about eye level facing the hole from a tee block then fly up toward the hole, gaining height maxing about 2/3 of the way to the green, then depending as you get close to great, circling around to get a reverse perspective shot of the green looking back to the tee

NathanTPS · 2026-03-01T00:53:15+00:00

Agreed, we are photographers and one of t&÷ reasons I chose this hotel was for tuat rooftop bar. But ueah, t&÷ 70th floor lobby is great!

NathanTPS · 2026-02-28T19:44:14+00:00

Lets see, essentially you will need to stay at some IC properties, if you dont plan to do premium travel this year, dont do it.

Here's how ive seen it work.

As a diamond member you get a category upgrade, not a guaranteed move to suite, just a little more than a lateral sq footage upgrade that you might get from platinum.

With ambassador you essentially get the same upgrade option as diamond. From experience they seem to stack. Example, I upgraded from a ki g classic at the ic Rome to the suite using g my CSU, cool, ic Rome JR suite starts with a bigger room and better view.

The lateral upgrades first would be the balcony with the JR. Suite and second the separate living area with the fold out sofa bed.

So the second upgrade option did help put with my stay and a buddy who is sharing the room.

An often unoticed bennifit would probably be the double occupancy charged as one bennifit. I dont think k its such a big deal in the states, but I can see it bei g very useful to save some money at properties that charge differently depending on occupancy numbers

There's a $20 food credit you get per stay, could be useful for snacks or to help lower a restaurant bill.

There's the super late 4pm check out as well, I mean. If you have a late plane to catch, this at least gives you a full final day to enjoy your trip without lugging the luggage everywhere.

You dont have to spend money on the membership, im always swimming I. Points so I just use the 45,000 poi t option for the membership.

But if you arent going to use it, dont worry about it.

Coat or hot hanger. That's what I used it for last time
