About me:

Hi everyone. Im Somchai. I'm 27 years old, Laotian, and I currently live in City 13. In 1997, I was an aspiring programmer and I first learnt coding in Python. I originally planned to emigrate to the United States and become a full-time game developer, but, unfortunately, for reasons we all know, this did not come to be.

This is me!

First & foremost, credits to Terry for inspiring the idea (he's my elderly neighbour). He's helped a lot in planning the website and He too knows how to use computers, so i expect to see him occasionally as well.

I don't know much about web design, so this website might not look all that great, but if anyone has any suggestion for improvements, let me know.

Why create this website?

first and foremost, i wanted to create a free and open forum for people in Paris-like in the old world-, whether that be news, videos, chatting, etc. Right now, the internet here is very restrictive and limited in variety, so i thought, why not make my own?

Right now, only people in Paris can access this website. i do not plan to expand this.

Is this website safe?

Yes and no. the internet is currently a gray place and exists only a handful of government-approved websites.

This website is anonymous and exists outside that firewall on a privately secured node, so there's no censorship and IPs aren't kept past a day or so. Despite that, any seriously dedicated civil protection can probably find out your location anyhow, so don't make it worthwhile.

I'll do my best to delete any egregious posts, but i can't guarantee anything.

Am I (the creator) safe?

Yes.

What do I miss about the old world?


Frankly, I miss my parents, my siblings, and my dog. my dog was killed by a headcrab when Black Mesa happened back in 2001, but i haven't seen the rest of my family since 2004 when we all got relocated to separate cities. it's extremely hard not knowing when i'll see them again or if they're even still alive.

Maybe someday we'll reunite, but im not optimistic.

Rules of the website:

1: Remain friendly
2: Don't post anything too illegal (nothing that'll anger the combine)
3: Don't share your name or identifying information with other users, only use usernames
4: Don't spam

also, because the code for this website is awful, i reserve 1st post of every page.

Message: Hello Somchai! You did a great job with this .com site, I really like it.

This is me!

There are plenty of small things I miss about the old world, like fast food or being able to work on my car (1964 Plymouth Barracuda for those wondering!). I'm not sure what happened to it, but even if I could keep working on it, my health might keep me from doing so.

The small things were nice, but I miss my grandkids more than anything. I don't know what happened to them, and I don't know if I ever will. I can only hope they are living happy lives now. Connections are more important than the smaller things, you can't replace them like you can with fast food joints or my 1964 Plymouth Barracuda.

If I had any advice for anyone else here, it would be to cherish the small things in life, and the connections you make with other people, no matter how small. You never know when things will change up on you again.

Don't forget the good and the bad things of the past, those lessons you learn can apply to the now, even if the now is very very different from how things were before.

And please, be kind to each other here.

Message: Quality site, thank you Somchai. Does anyone know how to cook headcrab? I'm having trouble making it not stiff + any way to make it not taste terrible.

Message: Here you go manomyword_!!!!

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
Only fully neutralized headcrabs may be used. If it twitches, hisses, or attempts to couple with your face, it is not done.

Ingredients
2 de-fanged Headcrabs, carapace removed, meat chopped
(Barnacles optional if supplies are low)

1 cup long-grain rice (pre-war brand preferred)

1 green bell pepper, diced

1 onion, diced

2 stalks celery, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 can crushed tomatoes

2 cups chicken or ration broth

1 tsp paprika

½ tsp cayenne

1 tsp dried thyme

1 bay leaf (not from Xen—trust me its bad)

Salt & pepper to taste

A splash of cooking oil or reclaimed butter substitute

Preparation

Neutralization Phase
Boil the headcrab meat for 10 minutes until pale and inert. Skim off any foam, spores, or thoughts of despair.

Sauté Base
In a heavy pot, heat oil. Add meat and brown lightly. Remove and set aside.
Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Cook until soft and fragrant.

Build the Stew
Stir in tomatoes, spices, bay leaf, and broth. Bring to a low boil.

Rice & Meat Deployment
Add rice, sausage, and headcrab meat. Stir once.
Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 20–25 minutes until rice is tender and liquid absorbed.

Final Check
Remove bay leaf. Taste. Adjust seasoning.
Ensure no headcrab parts attempt reanimation.

Serving Suggestions

Serve hot in chipped enamel bowls.
Pairs well with canned soda or stolen wine

It's a very nice part of the city, though CPs are harsh as usual. Sometimes I hope they'd mellow out, but they never seem to!

yesterday, a CP hit an elderly woman after she dropped her groceries infront of him. it was very clearly an accident, but the CP hit her anyway. it was very hardto watch. of course, people only helped after civil protection had left. people need to work to eat, and you can't work if you're injured or in jail

Does anyone here know how to use Excel software??? I was told to prepare something in it and I don't even know where to find this "Excel"??? Do they still sell them on floppy disks or CDs? I would appreciate any "info" on it.
