一 | WASHINGTON -- Saddled with a dysfunctional Congress, President Joe Biden has the task of assuring European Union leaders on Friday that the United States can nonetheless deliver on promises to send tens of billions of dollars' worth of aid to wartime Ukraine and Israel.The Oval Office sit-down comes at a moment when domestic U.S. political chaos could further destabilize an increasingly chaotic world. Many of Biden's shared priorities with the EU depend on getting a budget through Congress — a tough task given that the House lacks an elected speaker and differences with some Republican lawmakers over aid for Ukraine could force a federal government shutdown in November.Along with addressing Ukraine's efforts to repel Russia and the fallout from Hamas' attack on Israel, the U.S. and EU leaders are also figuring out how to manage climate change, economic competition with China and trade and tax issues. One day ahead of his meeting with Biden, European Council President Charles Michel expressed optimism that Biden can deliver on his promises to help arm and financially support Ukraine.“I’m really confident and also I’m grateful for Joe Biden’s personal leadership,” Michel said. “He will do everything to ensure this support will be confirmed.”The U.S. president has cultivated a personal relationship with Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who calls Biden “dear Joe.” Both the EU and U.S. pride themselves for being devoted to democratic principles, a source of unity as they navigate Russia's war in Ukraine and the war between Israel and Hamas. They have framed their support for Israel as a reflection of shared democratic values and stressed the importance of following international law in military operations.But the reality of democracies is that foreign policy agreements can change with elections and competing interests at home can overshadow diplomacy. The two partners still have differences to reconcile on trade, economic matters and the incentives for shifting to renewable energy sources. The U.S. and EU still need to finalize an agreement on environmentally sustainable steel and aluminum production in order to avoid the tariffs imposed during Donald Trump's presidency.Biden's own incentives on moving away from fossil fuels have left Europe “a little bit uncomfortable,” said Federico Steinberg, a visiting fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington-based think tank.While the EU welcomes U.S. efforts to “accelerate the green transition,” Steinberg said, some elements of Biden's programs are protectionist in nature, discriminate against trade partners and undermine the World Trade Organization system that the EU would like to revive.But for now, the U.S. and E.U. are focused on the big challenges of war and solidarity in their words and policy choices. Von der Leyen said Thursday that the “core” of the Oval Office conversation will be about Ukraine and Israel.“The winds are not just blowing today — today they are gale force,” she said in remarks at the conservative Hudson Institute. “Our democracies are under sustained and systemic attack by those who abhor freedom.”In addition to sanctioning Russia, EU countries have provided close to $90 billion in assistance to Ukraine, including $27 billion in military aid, von der Leyen said. But there are open questions as to whether the U.S. commitment could waver after having provided four rounds of aid to Ukraine that total $113 billion, a sum that includes replacing U.S. military equipment sent to Kyiv.“Now is the time to double down,” von der Leyen said Thursday.In a separate interview with The Associated Press, Michel said the U.S. and E.U. would still need to make progress on addressing the steel tariffs and defending the interests of European businesses. But Michel said both parties are aligned on Ukraine, and Europe is “doing what’s needed and we are preparing the next decisions to mobilize more and more funding, more military equipment for Ukraine and for the Ukrainians.”Biden is expected to ask for $105 billion in additional funding Friday, including $60 billion for Ukraine, much of which would replenish U.S. weapons stockpiles provided earlier. There’s also $14 billion for Israel, $10 billion for unspecified humanitarian efforts, $14 billion for managing the U.S.-Mexico border and fighting fentanyl trafficking and $7 billion for the Indo-Pacific region, which includes Taiwan. The proposal was described by three people familiar with the details who insisted on anonymity before the official announcement.But some House Republicans have questioned the value of aid to Ukraine at the levels sought by Biden. The GOP ousted Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., after a deal to temporarily keep the government open through November 17. Republican lawmakers have failed to find a successor, leading to concerns that Biden's commitments with the EU could be in jeopardy.The U.S. president offered his challenge to Congress in a Thursday evening speech by outlining the core idea behind his spending proposal:"American values are what make us a partner that nations want to work with. We put all that at risk if we walk away from Ukraine, if we turn our backs on Israel."__AP writer Raf Casert contributed to this report from Brussels.。

脑航员2 和 野兽传奇 的开发商 Double Fine Productions 已确认,在与 Xbox 分道扬镳后,它已重新获得了在微软旗下发行的所有游戏的 IP 和发行权。首席执行官 Tim Schafer 在今天与 Kinda Funny Games 的对话中澄清了开发商在行业中的未来。

三 | 面对希望在 Double Fine 进入新篇章之际提供支持的粉丝提问,他明确表示,购买其之前的任何作品都将有助于该工作室继续发挥其著名的疯狂创意。

四 | “我看到那里有一个问题,‘你们能从游戏中赚钱吗?’IP 的所有权已经回到了我们手中,我们拿回了所有游戏的发行权,”Schafer 表示。

五 | 唯一需要说明的是,虽然目前可能仍显示微软拥有“其中一些”,但这会随着时间的推移而改变。

六 | 他进一步解释说:“处理这一切需要一段时间。

七 | ”不过,核心信息是“当人们购买我们的游戏时,就是在支持工作室。”“如果你感到好奇,购买我们的任何游戏都有助于支持工作室,”他重复道。

八 | “我们可以将这笔钱转化为收入,帮助我们延长‘跑道’(生存与开发周期)。
九 | ”这条“跑道”是 Schafer 在每日游戏节目对话中多次提到的概念。Xbox 首席执行官 Asha Sharma 曾承诺,在上个月初被列入宏大的重组计划时,Double Fine 以及 South of Midnight 的开发商 Compulsion Games 将保留其 IP、作品库以及“下一款游戏的跑道”。这一举措虽然为 Xbox 团队的 3,200 人裁员奠定了基础,但在微软游戏部门陷入困境之际为这家 脑航员2 工作室提供了出路,但其长期前景仍不明朗。
十 | 为了帮助在今天延长这条跑道,Schafer 和 Double Fine 的其他成员揭开了其 Amnesia Fortnight 2026 独立重启版 Kickstarter 页面的面纱。这次众筹活动将带来一场计划于 8 月 31 日开始并“持续整个 9 月”的游戏创作马拉松(Game Jam)。以典型的 Double Fine 风格,这次活动也有其独特的创意:页面承诺让支持者选择哪些创意能进入原型设计阶段,其中一个最终将成为一款“真正的(小型)游戏”。此外,2 Player Productions 将全程记录每一个步骤,目标是制作一部纪录片。Schafer 在今天的采访中表示,“我们正在开发其他项目”,尽管这些项目究竟是什么还有待观察。

十一 | 随着 Ocean Keeper Co-op Drill Multiplayer、脑航员2 2 和 Kiln 等游戏的版权回归掌控,那条“跑道”看起来已经变长了一些。谈到 Kiln,这款 2026 年基于陶艺的多人游戏,Schafer 表示工作室仍在后台发布更新。“新地图和模式”似乎只是冰山一角,Schafer 还承诺会降价,“因为我们疯了”。Double Fine 转型回独立工作室后,紧接着就发生了影响 25% 团队成员的裁员。目前,其下一款游戏将以何种形式呈现尚不清楚。与此同时,您可以去了解为什么他们的作品值得一试,参考对 Ocean Keeper Co-op Drill Multiplayer 评出的 9/10 分以及对 脑航员2 2 评出的 8/10 分。
