Chaotic good here. They have different DPI too so you're never quite sure where your mouse is going to end up.

OK, calm down Satan....

You can use a software called LittleBigMouse to make this better. It's really nice in my experience with 2 1080p screens and one 4k. All roughly the same size

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I spend hours aligning their bottoms and virtual position so now my three screens transfer the mouse exactly in their vertical middle.

I also use a tiling WM with tons of workspaces and if I switch workspaces my mouse gets reseted into the middle of the workspace anyway.

This is horrendous. I love it

I feel like all in the chaotic column should have at least one diagonal monitor.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Hell, probably.

Imagine having to manually adjust your tint setting. NTSC, man. Literally shaking in my SMH.

Am I the only chaotic neutral here? I code on the right and do everything else on the left.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm chaotic neutral but with a third monitor on the left.

Nope. I'm a new convert and I love it. Laptop monitor to the left of the big landscape for random screens. It's fantastic

"Chaotic Good"

aka "I got this monitor for free from someone else"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel attacked, the pc came with a 4:3 monitor for you information... the bigger one was a the gift

what about having a tv across the room as a second monitor?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If you only use the TV to watch media, you're lawful neutral. If you use it for gaming or anything else, you're chaotic good.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

It's still going to be better than screen on budget laptops. I am convinced my laptop's screen is 30Hz and it surely wasn't manufactured to produce colors.

Ummmm... how about 2 vertical monitors above each other?

That's how I got this long ass screenshot, for example:

I don't know how else to do that, so I fixed it with hardware ʘ‿ʘ

But otherwise, true neutral.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ultrawide flipped vertical?

Hard disagree. More monitors is morally better.

Vertical monitors are good for code, too.

One monitor isn't true neutral. It's broke-ass bitch. That's me. I'm a broke-ass bitch.

If you don't care about them matching, thrift stores can have some really good deals.

It's not how I would want to be all the time, but Chaotic Neutral is really great for reviewing documents in a PDF.

So Chaotic Evil just gets way more screen real estate than everybody else?

I'm Chaotic Neutral (although my vertical monitor is on the left). It was an experiment that stuck because I like being able to read more lines of code at once.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

At home: Chaotic good but with three monitors that are all different sizes

At work: Two monitors side by side, and then one above them

Not a programmer though, I make videos

I'm pretty much chaotic evil, with a laptop.

One thing I will say: anyone who has a single window spanned across multiple monitors needs battering. "Oh, yah, I fookin' love 'aving un two-centimeter black bar in middul of me Word doccumant". Unhinged sociopaths, all of them.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Lawful neutral at home and Chaotic neutral at work

What about those who eschew multi monitor setups in favour of an ultrawide?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago
