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.

Chaotic good looking to become chaotic gooder with a third misshapen monitor.

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

I’m pretty sure I’m Chaotic Evil with 2x 1920x1200, 2x 1024x1200, a 1920x1080 and one 1366x768 but I don’t run any vertical anymore, so maybe not?

Lawful neutral, though my laptop is up on a stand to bring it to the height of the monitor, so maybe chaotic good?

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

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

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

Chaotic neutrals wya?! Especially when I was using a Mac for work with ShiftIt

[–] [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.

Chaotic good but I REALLY vibe with that chaotic evil

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

Chaotic neutral vibin with stream on the right and game on front

[–] [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.

Gaming setup is true neutral Work from home setup is lawful neutral Office setup is chaotic evil

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

I'd swap lawful evil and neutral evil.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm on the third Z axis of this chart

two screens same size to the front, laptop on a riser to my left, at a right angle, third, smaller screen to the left of that connected to a second laptop

Somewhere between chaotic neutral & chaotic evil here.

One of a pair as portrait, the other as landscape; laptop left-aligned with landscape & base-aligned with portrait for an appropriately unholy trio.

I also use workspaces and screen sessions for maximal WTFery.

CN for those scanned PDFs. What am I gonna do, zoom in like some kind of animal?

[–] pacjo 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

True neutral right now, but since I'm already here, does anyone know if curved monitor is viable as a secondary display? I already have the monitor around, but since it's not rotatable I can't really try this setup for myself.

It'd be 27' 1440p flat horizontally (main) and 24' 1080p curved vertically next to it.

Chaotic Evil is that stupid hacking computer in Swordfish.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Lawful Good, but they're all different sizes. So.. Chaotic Good? Chaotic Evil? Who knows.

So, would using a monitor and a phone screen be lawful neutral too? Because that's what I usually do if I need to look up things for whatever I'm doing and don't want to boot up my desktop web browser.

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

I've been neutral good, chaotic good and chaotic neutral in the past and am now lawful evil. No idea what that is supposed to mean though xD

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

So, Lawful Neutral is just broke? Hunh... (Counts on fingers: druids, monks, cloistered scholars...) Yeah, that tracks.

Also, ofc I'm Chaotic Neutral. Pfft. I blame Elite Dangerous, as I was once Neutral Good, but then discovered what the game was like on an Index, and then there was no reason for the monitors to start that way anymore. 🤷🏼‍♂️

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

I'm neutral impoverished.

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

At work I have chaotic neutral but I slot my laptop underneath the landscape screen so it fits snugly in the corner.

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

Chaotic neutral except i have a vertical one on each side like a big H. I do a lot of document writing

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

I'm off the chart. I have 2 mismatched monitors - a 27" and 34", and the 34 one is an ultrawide. It's wider than the other, but their bezels still line up.

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

Hey my old monitor setup isn't here.

Main display is normal with a laptop underneath, a vertical display to the left with a laptop display on the bottom under the first monitor
