  • 50% of web developers: Chaotic Neutral
  • Salespeople: Lawful Neutral
  • Programmers (and the other 50% of web developers): Unaligned, we know how to use shortcuts.

I know it's been out for years but I don't understand anything about this meme format. Reminds me of mbti bullshit

It's an alignment chart, most commonly used for D&D (and other TTRPG) characters.

Why is it neutral evil to have a monitor without a face?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

You don't have a soul trapped inside your desktop wallpaper?

Chaotic good, one 32" 2560×1440 display, one old 19" 1280×1024 display (mainly used for referencing docs, for a debugger, or watching a VTuber or a conference presentation).

I think they're all evil with those skulls on the screen.

I’ve got a sideways monitor, a rightway monitor and a laptop all scrunched together, what does that make me?

You are not invited to D&D.

Go watch some Stranger Things

The "tie fighter" setup of vertical, horizontal, vertical, gives me nausea

I'm lawful neutral monitorally but ideologically chaotic neutral. This and that then.

I'm a reverse Lawful Neutral; laptop on the left, monitor on the right.

Before that I had a 16:9 monitor on the left and a 4:3 monitor on the right. That doesn't seem to be in the chart anywhere.

Seriously, someone needs to start making high-quality 4:3 monitors again. Sure, they're not great for movies and modern video games, but they're great for reading.

Lawful good at home.

Laptop and two horizontal monitors at work. Is that lawful neutral good or neutral good lawful?

Personally, I think it's probably neutral awful - one is HDMI and the other is VGA.

Chaotic neutral should be a solo laptop screen.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I am chaotic good at home with a 4K and a laptop screen

But at work it’s all 1080 monitors (unfortunately) so I have 3 and I a mix of chaotic neutral and lawful evil 😂 2 portraits then a landscape

Chaotic good. I refuse to get rid of the little one. My electronics only leave me when they're fubar.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I guess I'm LE. Its the only way my monitors would fit in my space :(

I use a 42" 4K monitor. Same working area as 4 x 21" 1920x1080 screens but more flexible. Been doing so for ~10 years. When my old 39" 4K monitor broke I used 2 x 24 inch monitors + laptop screen for a while but I ended up buying another big monitor instead, it's just so convenient.

Chaotic evil baby. I need somewhere to read long documents, manga, man pages and configs.

Lawful Neutral + Chaotic Evil...

I have so many screens...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Honestly, these days I just work directly on my laptop. Get to use touchpad gestures which is nice, grilling my hands under CPU load maybe less nice.

It's usually enough to just alt+tab between my IDE and browser, so my workflow hasn't suffered much.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I suppose I'm technically true neutral since I have a vertical monitor on one side and my laptop on the other.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Not a programmer, but I run Neutral Good + Lawful Neutral at the office, because my work issued a docking station with two symmetrical monitors, but they also issued me a laptop instead of a desktop, so what am going to do, not use the third monitor?

So, it's ugly, but it works since I either put baseball on one of the big monitors or Spotify on the laptop, and work on the other two.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

I have four screens from four different manufacturers, with three different sizes, three different resolutions, two different aspect ratios and two different refresh rates.
Two of these are resurrected from the dead of which one has a high voltage cold cathode driver externally plastered to it's back (because the internal failed and there was no space inside) and the other one shining from every pore because I "replaced" one cold cathode tube by plastering the "replacement" tube somewhere in the housing of the monitor to fool the driver into thinking all tubes are fine (one was defect, the driver doesn't work without every tube connected and putting the replacement in the place where it should belong is too much work).
I am basically the evil necromancer of chaotic evil.

  1. 27 inch, 1440p, 16:9, 144Hz, Asus
  2. 24 inch, 1080p, 16:9, 60Hz (driver sticking out), BenQ
  3. 21 inch, 1080p, 16:9, 60Hz, Iiyama
  4. 21 inch, 1680x1050p, 16:10, 60Hz, Eizo

I can provide pictures later today if someone's interested.
Edit: Here are the pictures

Chaotic good but smaller monitor is on the left, only because I had one shitty monitor I got on sale right out of high school and eventually bought a much nicer but slightly smaller one later.

I'm a combination of neutral good and lawful neutral. 2 identical monitors + laptop.

Neutral good for personal. Lawful good for work.
