Whiletraipsing around the Clockwork Mansion as either Corvo or Emily, you eventually come across Kirin Jindosh and his laboratory of interchangeable parts. If you are attempting a passive run or find that just simply killing Jindosh is a little boring, you may want to strap him into his electroshock machine.

This machine, when calibrated to the right frequency enables undesirable parts of an individuals brain to become wiped, allowing people to be more subservient or docile. Jindosh had been utilising this machine on Sokolov, with limited effect but now the tables have turned.


For the most part, you may get a message once he is strapped in to the machine that you need more power and that you have to figure out how to increase it. This took me an embarrassingly long time considering there is a note in the laboratory explaining how to do it but here is the gist of it. The entire laboratory has a finite power supply and differing sections of the lab, drain certain amounts of power.


The above photo is of the machines that you need to activate in order to alter the structure of the laboratory, there are two of them scattered around the fringes of the lab. On a blackboard in the same area there is a drawing with a bunch of numbers written on it which correspond to how much power each area consumes. It is also the same number that is lit up on the machine. You must find the right combination of platforms in order for there to be enough power to fully charge the electroshock machine. Spoiler below.


When I arrived at UP, I had no idea what discrimination felt like. I did not know what it meant to have others define my rights. Things changed when I came out as gay. I saw the ugliness of oppression alive on The Bluff. Although I had my fair share of angst (hurt in disguise), I always accepted "good enough". One voice inside of me screamed to fight the injustice on campus while another screamed at me to protect myself. I protected myself by participating faithfully in university life, striving to prove to the community that I was worth something even if I was not worth protecting by law. I delved into activist work with just about every population other than my LGBT community. I examined injustices as close to home as downtown Portland, but never as close to home as my own heart. I was always haunted with the same question: How could I allow such injustice on The Bluff, my home? I never had the courage to find an answer. I accepted legal and religious rhetoric to excuse institutionalized exclusion.


Reading last week's Beacon, I recalled the life I accepted at UP. I was happy, but I committed a grave act of spiritual violence against myself: I allowed others to define my dignity. I separated myself from the man God made me to be. I dishonored God by taking "good enough" for an answer. I allowed the human-made constructs of law and Church to take precedent over my identity.


Some perspectives expressed in last week's article echoed the same voices that once haunted me. I am wounded by those who are eager participants in UP's culture of discrimination. One student expressed that talking about homosexuality is "a waste of time." I feel hurt as I wonder how many UP community members considered me a "waste of time" for four years. Students who believe this do exactly what hierarchies of power want: like me, they internalize fear and become docile sheep, incapable of imagining change. Another student lauds the Inclusion Policy as "a creative solution." LGBT students are not a problem in need of a quick solution. It is not up to leaders to decide our fate at their convenience. It is our right to determine how we would like to feel included. Otherwise, we give our souls away to human power.


The students who advocate for change leave me in awe. They do not accept handouts from those who do their best to maintain dominance, hoping that students will accept "good enough." During Lent, I reflect upon what "I have failed to do" and how failure to take action perpetuates systemic sin. I reflect on the Passion of Jesus, who was executed in attempt to silence his radical voice. LGBT folks at UP bear a heavy cross, but those who struggle for justice remind me that the Resurrection is a community act. It will not be silenced to placate power. As Easter approaches, I have hope for the Resurrection.


Hi, I'm about to get a LeGo and I've been wondering what some of yall have in your setup or settings for intense games. Like what dock/ keyboard you have and if there is any input lag. Or if you've found a good hz, fps, mode etc. Combination that works great for most high quality graphic games. Obviously I know setting will change per game but I'm hoping there's a baseline that doesn't require a lot of tweaking between games.


-> double checking at Game start up, the system resolution actually stays at 1600p, if it switches back to the game resolution, switch it back in the LegionSpace side Menu (quick settings Menu) to 1600p


--> Integer Scaling gives you a way sharper image quality through perfectly multiplying the quarter resolution (800p) by 4 times, resulting in a perfectly upscaled image to the native resolution of the Go's Display (1600p)


For those more modern, hardware hungry games I would recommend a TDP between 20 and 30 watts in custom settings, or just turn on the performance mode, and you should be fine (even though 30 Watt custom mode, can bring you even more performance in several cases).


Set up the system Energy mode to efficiency, as that way your GPU is getting more power and this is best for most games. If you should encounter a really CPU heavy game, like a strategy game with thousends of objects in the game to be calculated, it might be worth it to test it in Performance mode.

->>> In general looking at the Go's APU (consisting of CPU and GPU on one chip) be aware that the CPU is quite fast already, the GPU is quite slow compared to dedicated (real and normal) graphics cards.


One of those is the UMA (V-RAM) size. As the Go has an APU, meaning a CPU and a GPU on one Chip, GPU and CPU share the 16 GB of RAM memory together, and use those for the System Memory and the Graphical memory. By setting up the VRAM size, you also define the rest memory being used for the system at the same time.


I would recommend 6 GB of VRAM overall, as this counts to be the sweet spot for most games, or trying out AUTO mode, as this can even improve game performance some times, but can also lead to issues with certain games not properly supporting it.


I would recommend to start with the lowest graphical settings and seeing how fast your FPS are there (by turning on the option in the legion Space side menu, or by installing and using MSI Afterburner) and then switching on the graphics options which are most relevant to you. If the game performs well already, just leave it as it is. If it doesn't, turn on FSR2 in game on one of the better quality settings.


Within the next Graphics driver update there will also be frame generation implemented in to ways:

One on a system level called "AFMF", another called "FSR3" on a way better, game adopted level (just in a few supported games so far, but they will be more and more). It will then be worth it to deactivate FSR 2 and to just activate FSR3 in the in game options, or AFMF (within the driver software options) to see if you are happy with their results and picture quality, and still happy with the additional latency introduced. Not good for Multiplayer shooters definetly (here FSR 2 is way better), but can be good for single player experiences, or if you just play Multiplayer games for fun, and don't care them to be too precise.


I know this was very long, but as this is a question that comes up over and over again, and I'm currently ill at home, I took the time to properly write it down once and for all

--> As often going into each smaller detail of those settings, is not always good and helpful, as they all play in together.


Regarding the keyboard I can totally recommend you a foldable and portable keyboard like from Seenda I bought, as it is light, foldable (and has a great multi-touch trackpad), and therefore nicely portable and you can connect it up to 3 devices at the same time, here the link to amazon:


This is the green version I have, but it is also available in Pink.

Or here directly using a US link (don't know where you actually live ;-))




If you want to use it more stationary at home you can use any gaming keyboard you like, as this is a highly subjective matter, and obviously real, bigger keyboards have better buttons, then a flat portable one (anyway for what it is it is really great, and I'm really happy about buying the Seenda one, as I use it for my Go, for my Ipad and for my Phone too .)

-> Generally speaking I love Corsair keyboards with fast gaming keys, but not mechanical, as I can't stand the sound of them...


My older Corsair K57 RGB Wireless I'm already using since many years now, still works as good as on it's first day (without any kind of esageration).


------------------

For the USB Hubs I leave the answer to others, as I'm mostly not using a hub, but from what I know having a 100 Watts Powerbank (like from Ugreen for example) in conjunction with the Legion Go when using a hub for on the go is a really recommended, as it gives you enough power to load the Go and at the same time power on additional devices, without needing an external, real AC Plug included. Of course you would need a good hub for that, which can pass the energy through to the Go over USB and is reliable, here I can't recommend direct products.



-> Otherwise if you want to use it stationary and at the same time want to power your Legion Go directly with the normal AC adapter, I can recommend to you a hub similiar to the one I'm currently using:


Or as it is currently not available nor in Germany, nor in the US apparently something similiar having a good build quality and a possibly high USB standard 3.0 upwards up to 4.0 if it even exists (the higher, the better)
