Introduction- tommarkc

[tommarkc]

Hey, I'm new here... so I decided to introduce myself, break the ice, let other know about me a bit. For a start I picked questions from another topic.

What is your name?

I'll rather keep real name to myself, and on Internet I always like to be named as tommarkc. I'm OK with Tom, Tom Mark, tommark, etc.

Where are you from?

Slovenia. Ya' know, that lil' country in Europe.

How old are you?

23.

What's your gender?

Male.


How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?

INTP (partially INTJ). I like doing online tests, and so I came to 16Personalities.

How did you find out about this forum?

Searching about INTP via Google, came to an interesting topic... and I kept reading, pushing my work away.

Do you have a partner/lover?

No.

Do you have any pets?

No. Had turtle for several years. Noticed it once a week, poor parents had to take care of it. It grew too big, so we let it into nature.

Motivations for registering?
Might get a few life tips as being INTP, and have an important question I'm struggling about right now (a new topic opening soon).

Hobbies?
Mostly computer oriented.
Love playing computer games.

Siblings?
Brothers (their personalities are INFJ and INFP).

Study?
Finished "Media Technician". Finishing "Engineer of Multimedia Communications", starting "Engineer of Computer Science and Information Technologies".

Edit: kind of music?
Hardcore (search hardcore techno, yet it's possible to discuss if it's techno). Mostly happy hardcore (right now mostly S3RL), like UK hardcore, and decent package of other hardcore styles.
I like piano music too, movie music (can be discussed if you can call it a genre), and some other genres of trance/ electronic music (mostly house, dance and jumpstyle).

If you have more questions, ask. Can't bite trough Internet. I'm willing to answer more personal questions too, but only via PM.

Can you just let turtles wander off into nature? I know that with some domesticated animals, like housecats and whatnot, sending them off to fend for their own is almost a death sentence. Do turtles survive well on their own?

Also welcome!

 

[tommarkc]

Almost wrote more about that the first time. It's illegal, but nearby where I live is a place of nature where is paradise of turtles. Not sure how they survive and how hard adaptation is, but I believe even domesticated ones survive.
The alternative option would be selling it to pet shop nearby, but if they don't get bought in time of about 2 months, they kill them. Turtles aren't sold really fast, and unless they are very small, it's almost sure they don't get sold at all.
So yeah, better give them in the nature than putting them in aquarium they don't know (my turtle needed 1-2 months to adapt to aquarium, had eating struggles at first etc) and make death sentence. (in those 2 months, there was sold 1 of like 5 turtles the shop had, so they would kill my turtle)

Your introduction isn't half as bad as you think! Books... I'm mainly into non-fiction, like A Brief History of Time - Stephen Hawking, Obsessive Genius - Barbara Goldsmith (about Marie Curie), The Origin of Species... that kind of thing. I'm currently reading Les Misèrables - which is okay so far but so incredibly long that it's more an exercise in attention span than anything else I also enjoy Jonathan Stroud's writing... Piano is my second love - it was the first instrument I started playing.

 

[The Gopher]

*arrives by teleport* what games do you play?

 

[tommarkc]

@Xenophanes my introduction are copied questions from other topic, bc I didn't know how to put all together & what to write. I'm more in fiction & disgust of people: Invisile Man, Animal Farm, Dorian Gray, Jackyll and Hyde, Parfume (haha, only book I took from a school... and the female who works there asked me "So, what do you hink of the book?" Me: "It's so real." (meant about the responses, logic, the World itself, while main character have fictional power... it showed how I see the world, too)).

@The Gopher: just did a post about it!

I'm less and less into gaming, maybe because work, bad computer or other limits. I would pick RPG for my favourite genre, yet I love many genres, it depends on the game itself.
If I think about what games I played at last, here's a short list:
Minecraft (its uniqueness, I'm into survival building. I believe this is the game I spent most time)
Team Fortress, Counter Strike (both in LAN, only rarely)
Crusader Kings 2 (A Game of Thrones Mod... latest version have serious bugs, inpossible to save after playing for like 3 hours)
Mount and Blade: With Fire and Sword (great hours of playing, stared several times, normally give up at the moment when you run from town to town to capture them, while you get no help from other lords of same kingdom)
Elder Scrolls: Skyrim (nice game until you have all good things you can buy, and done all quests you can find)
Total War series (shame my computer can normally do only Napoleon, and at best times Shogun II)
Robocraft (build your own unique robot and fight... but normally get angry on the team)
Call of Duty (LAN multiplayer and singleplayer, all difficulties)
some of Assassin's Creed (latest best is Black Flag)
Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (so old, yet good)
Mafia 1&2 (after you finish them twice, it gets boring)
NHL 09 (last NHL PC game, played singleplayer, yet my computer is so bad it keeps crashing very often. It's nice to ripoff salaries of your own players, which are already underpaid. Then you win all the matches in a season, max 2 lost, with lowest salary of all teams. I managed to get scores so high that I noticed only 1 note on Internet that is higher than mine. The matches when you score 30+ goals per match, 5 min thirds)
Dirt 2, GRID 2 (hope the numbers are right)
online flash games, good multiplayer ones: Tanki online, SAS 4 Zombie Assault, Ballistic

Whatever I play I'm into strategy, don't like too much fantasy. And if there are optional quests, all must be done 100%. And I get bored or frustrated when there's too much grinding/ repeating or can't find a solution & get out of ideas how to approach the problem.

 

[ProxyAmenRa]

Are you a fan of Slavoj Zizek?

 

[tommarkc]

Heard for him, but never focused to learn more. Just read some things about him. I'm always sceptical before I know something, especailly books. Maybe I should read something written by him, but I believe it's too philosophical and have different interests and opinions than me. But maybe I should pick a book sometimes...
That's Slovenian. We never appreciate ourselves enough.

You're introduction isn't too bad you just come off as impersonal due to not having an avatar and narcissistic due to having your name in your title.

I was thinking it might look that way...
My name in title: just didn't see the point of making it complicated, so I kept it simple. It's classical introduction, but "Introduction" would look like topic for multiple introductions, which would be wrong; I put my own name in it to keep it direct. I'm not narcissistic.

Avarar. I always procrastinate with it. And I'm not easily happy with avatar (at least with my own). So I found a pic, and now I don't know how to set the avatar... Not used to forums anymore, been some time.

I thought about that it might look like both of it, yet I didn't care much. In past I had (and still have) the problem of thinking too much about what other think of me. So I learned sometimes I should not care at all. And it's the best to not give any inpression, than the wrong one.

Like, when I look at your pic, I say:
1. You like drawing.
2. You have brown hair.
3. You want to look cool.
4. You want to keep things simple. For addition, it goes perfectly with "Stop taking me seriously."

Ever heard for Oscar Wilde saying "Life is too important to be taken seriously"? He's quite interesting; I agree with many of his sayings, but with some I completely dissagree. And yes, this saying is one of my life guidiances.

Wait.................
Hmm.........

I drunkenly attempted playing rummi with two slovenians a few weeks back.

Did they send you here?
Have they found me?
Why have you come here!
Answer me damn it!


Oh, and uh, welcome and all that.
I'll be watching you.

 

[tommarkc]

I don't know what is rummi. According to Google, it's a card game.

To answer questions:
1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. To haunt you.
4. Happy?

It's quite unbeliavable where you find Slovenians. According my random encounters on the Internet set by country, Slovenia should have as many people as France and Spain together. I heard of story when two Slovenian friends after many years not hearing of each other meet in a China both as turists. Or my father asking for direction other Slovenian while traveling in Austria- talking in broken German language for a half hour or so. Believe or not.
