Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 2)

I confess that I have recently got absolutely hammered cardio wise, gasping, sweating and now some nasty DOMs…playing a video game.

What game?

Thrill of the fight (VR game) - playing full 3 mins rounds with 1 min breaks, was quite addictive.

I don’t play video games at all, but I am watching the Halo TV show. I confess I am a big fan of the fact that the two lady spartans are 6’ 1" and 6’ 3". The two dudes are both 6’ 5". Now that’s realism, in a fantasy show, that I can appreciate.

When I’ve been drinking a little, things like this make me tear up.

I’m a 51-year-old man and I started playing Fortnite this weekend. I have 5 boys (3 still at home), and it’s something I can do with all of them in the evenings (including the ones no longer living here).

I made myself a stack of protein pancakes for postworkout brunch. I am happy

How did they turn out? Protein pancakes are in my algorithm lately, I’ve been looking at impossibly fluffy pancakes all week.

Fluffy! Texture exactly like normal pancakes



(Not great flip+ I ate 1/2 the stack before remembering to take a pic :joy:)

I am not going to lie. Those look terrible. I like my pancakes to be more like crepes.

Haha, I posted this in a discord server and a couple of the French guys said “Americans ruin everything”

I like fluffy pancakes

Yep. Me too.

Confession- I’m officially on a dried fruit & vanilla yogurt kick.

3rd time I’ve gone shopping that I came back with various dried fruits.

Then I mix up a cup of vanilla yogurt + what ever and let it sit a few hours.

So, lets see how much weight I can gain eating healthy ingredients in unhealthy amounts! :rofl:

My grandfather ate a bowl of rasin bran every day for as long as I can remember until the day he died.

From choking on a rasin.

:rofl: kidding of course.

So far I have cherries, kiwi, cranberries, blueberries, strawberries, chocolate covered rasins, and ginger snap granola.

I am really interested in your thoughts on this game. My 10 year old has been wanted to play this for a while now and my wife and I have held off.

I played it twice.

Both times, I wondered around aimlessly for about 10 minutes before someone shot me to death.

I figure, if I wanna experience that, I’ll just go to Detroit.

My concern with these types of games is the in game purchases. My son plays minecraft and other play station games and we have continuous discussions about him wanting to buy ‘upgrades’. I really don;t see the value in changing the colour of your ‘skin’ or the look f your ‘weapon’.

I am just old.

I haven’t played many multi-player online games to compare it to. Back when Team Fortress 2 (in like 2007) came out, I played for the first time, chose to be a sniper, and then got cussed out and called an idiot for 10 minutes by some 12-year-old because the map we were on didn’t have room for a sniper. I would have gladly strangled that kid if I could have found him.

Fortnite is not too bad. There is no gore at all, so you don’t have to worry about that. And you can only hear people that are on your team, so nobody will be grooming the kid. You can make them play solo so they can’t hear anyone at all. It’s pretty fun.
