Spoiler

I can see every topic of the front page all at once...

 

Spoiler

...can't see the rest of that, though. Insurmountable. Tower of Babel anyone?

 

Spoiler

Wait what do you mean my wallpaper doesn't rotate along with the orientation?

 

Spoiler

Anyone out there who does fashion design or character design on the computer, you need one of these. Seriously.

 

Spoiler

I couldn't even scroll down this comic page to see the rest if I wanted to.

 

Spoiler

Some things weren't designed to consider any newfangled ideas...

 

Spoiler

Oh shit, better switch to landscape.

 

Spoiler

OMG GET TO THE KEEP CHANGES BUTTON ALREADY WHY WON'T MY CURSOR DO AS I SAY

 

Spoiler

...Bullshit!

Meanwhile, on Blue Leafeon's monitor...

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. I think that screen is a little...uh...too big...

 

Also, from the sounds of you trying to turn off that screen rotation, I'm going to guess that having a 4 by 3 screen resolution isn't so bad after all. :P

Now imagine it in 4K.

I'm actually trying to turn it on, but the option doesn't exist on my computer. Having to manually switch whenever I want to turn it over to watch video or play a game is a massive pain in the ass when I have to click the button for confirmation (within a short time limit too), since until I turn the monitor physically my cursor's sense of direction is going to go whack. Pressing Enter will actually cancel the switch in orientation for some ridiculous reason. Apparently nobody really seems to know any apps for turning your screen either...

 

Well, you just convinced me to stick to the basic laptop design.

Would you say that again if I told you the screen on vertical basically forces me to break bad back habits (since it's so tall curling up is impractical) before I break my back?

Probably since I don't have the same back problems.  I did say you convinced me for me to keep using traditional laptops. 

 

(Either way, I meant no offence; I thought you were using it as a touch screen sketchpad)

Wait are you telling me that you're a super-introverted hard working nerd who doesn't have the problem of being hunchbacked while watching the computer screen? What planet did you come from?

Due to my monitor being elevated above the rest of my desk, I find that I generally don't have to bend my body to see the screen. In fact, sometimes it's just the opposite--if I'm playing a game that's dark enough, I have to sit up perfectly straight in order to be on level with the screen, and also to block out the sunlight from the window behind me. This actually becomes problematic because if I'm sitting up straight, my back is NOT resting against my chair.
