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

My setup isn't featured, but it's basically neutral good with the laptop below it in the middle.

Chaotic neutral isn't that bad when you're doing programming since the extra vertical space is really convenient.

I've been lawful neutral ever since the pandemic forced work from home.

[–] jackoneill@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

Lawful Evil at work Neutral Good at home Shockingly accurate about more than just the monitors!

[–] Famborghini@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (5 children)

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.

Neutral good for personal. Lawful good for work.

[–] Theharpyeagle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year 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.

Lawful Neutral + Chaotic Evil...

I have so many screens...

[–] FarceMultiplier@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] NightmareQueenJune@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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

Oooh yes I too have 3 different monitors of different makes and sizes!

[–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year 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.

[–] Floey@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] megane_kun@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Due to a mistake I made, I'm chaotic good instead of neutral good. Current set-up is a 27" 1080p HDMI on the left, and 24" 1080p VGA on the right. Not too much in a hurry to replace my smaller monitor though, I need to upgrade my graphics card first to allow for a HDMI-HDMI configuration at least.

[–] StarkillerX42@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

A neat trick I learned recently. The vertical /smaller/secondary monitor should go on different sides for different people. Hold a finger close to your face and close one eye and then the other. Whichever eye more closely matches the both-eye image is your dominant eye and is where your secondary monitor should go.

[–] MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm both chaotic good and lawful neutral, depending if it's for my job or not. I suppose that's a fair assessment of the difference between my professional character and home character.

[–] otacon239@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

We have neutral evil at my work and it sometimes hurts my soul.

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

[–] CaptFeather@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Lol my set up is a 22" 1080p on the left for basic web viewing, 28" 1440p center for games, and a 32" 1080p on the right for videos/twitch while I'm playing games

[–] the16bitgamer@programming.dev 2 points 1 year 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

What if I use a 48 inch OLED TV as a monitor?

[–] chrishazfun@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Chaotic Neutral, if you align the secondary monitor right Everything Works™

[–] words_number@programming.dev 2 points 1 year 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

[–] Strayce@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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

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.

[–] _number8_@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

i have chaotic neutral right now -- would it be insane to have the middle monitor be vertical then the side be horizontal? i usually use the horizontal for videos or sports but that makes more sense off to the side, then vertical is great for scrolling

[–] legion02@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That's how I run my work setup. Ide on center monitor, documentation on the right, media and chat on the left.

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.
