The US Senate has approved a $95bn (£76bn) foreign aid package that includes military support for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. President Joe Biden is expected to sign the legislation into law on Wednesday. The Senate on Tuesday evening backed the measure passed by the US House of Representatives on Saturday. It includes $61bn in military aid for Ukraine, which the Pentagon says can start being delivered to the war-torn nation "within days". It passed in a bipartisan vote of 79-18. Mr Biden hailed its passage in a statement late on Tuesday, calling it "critical legislation [that] will make our nation and world more secure as we support our friends who are defending themselves against terrorists like Hamas and tyrants like [Russian President Vladimir] Putin". Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said: "After more than six months of hard work and many twists and turns in the road, America sends a message to the entire world: we will not turn our back on you." The Senate had passed a similar aid package in February, but a group of conservatives who oppose new Ukraine support had prevented it from coming to a vote in the House of Representatives. Last week, Democrats and Republicans in the lower chamber joined together to bypass this opposition. They ultimately agreed to a package bill that included the foreign aid as well as legislation to confiscate Russian assets held by Western banks; new sanctions on Russia, Iran and China; and a provision that will force the Chinese company ByteDance to sell the po[CENSORED]r social media service TikTok. The package is expected to provide a significant boost to Ukraine's forces, which have suffered from a shortage of ammunition and air defence systems in recent months. Reacting to the vote, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said it "reinforces America's role as a beacon of democracy and leader of the free world". On Tuesday, Ukraine's second city, Kharkiv, faced the latest in a series of recent drone and missile strikes, with authorities saying two people in a residential neighbourhood were injured. The commander of Ukraine's National Guard, Oleksandr Pivnenko, said he was expecting an attempt by Russian forces to advance on the city near the two countries' border. In the House on Saturday, a majority of Republicans in the chamber voted against the foreign aid package. The bill also faced resistance among a handful of Senate Republicans who opposed any new aid to Ukraine. Fifteen voted with two Democrats - as well as independent Senator Bernie Sanders who objected to providing new offensive weapons to Israel - against the bill. "Pouring more money into Ukraine's coffers will only prolong the conflict and lead to more loss of life," Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville said in remarks on Tuesday. "No one at the White House, the Pentagon, or the state department can articulate what victory looks like in this fight." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68885868

Netmarble has announced an exciting new update for Seven Knights Idle Adventure, letting everyone welcome a new legendary hero to the idle RPG. In particular, you can look forward to having the final member of the Four Lords of Old, Karma, join the fray. This also comes with a new Guild War mode among other additions. In the latest update to Seven Knights Idle Adventure, you can expect to wield the power of Defense-type hero Karma as he boosts your party's survivability with a handy shield. He can also buff his teammates each time he lands a critical hit. Meanwhile, the new 30v30 PvP Guild War lets you duke it out with other teams to boost your Destruction Score. You can take part as long as your guild has 20 or more members - and it may very well be well worth the effort, given that the Medal of Honor will be up for grabs to help you level up your Emblem growth system. Of course, there will also be limited-time events to coincide with these updates, including the Rate Up Summon Event for Karma, Amelia, Zahara and Nezha. The Spirited Mages’ Carnival Event, on the other hand, lets you nab points to redeem the Legendary heroes Salem, Tara and Noa. If you're eager to join in on all the fun, you can do so by checking out Seven Knights Idle Adventure on the App Store and on Google Play. It's a free-to-play game with in-app purchases. You can also join the community of followers on the official Facebook page to stay updated on all the latest developments, visit the official website for more info, or take a little peek at the embedded clip above to get a feel of the game's vibes and visuals. https://www.pocketgamer.com/seven-knights-idle-adventure/karma-update/

Team Fortress 2 just received a huge update, upgrading it 64-bit, finally bringing the 17-year-old shooter into the modern age of gaming. But in true TF2 fashion, there was a problem that no one foresaw: the game kept crashing because it thought players were Gordon Freeman from Half-Life. The issue has since been fixed by the latest update on April 22, and all the patch notes reveal is: "Fixed a crash under 64-bit caused by some custom HUDs using Half-Life 2 HUD elements which assume the player is Gordon Freeman." It's a bit of an odd outlier, sandviched between ABI compatibility issues and snd_cull_duplicates command not working. I nearly glossed over it myself. This issue seemed to only affect players who'd customised their HUD using elements from Half-Life 2's UI via mods and the like. But this issue isn't entirely fan-made, as several custom HUDs use Half-Life 2 files that are already present in TF2, which is what confuses the game into thinking you're trying to load in as Gordon Freeman. It's also pretty common for Half-Life 2 and TF2 to have some overlap anyway since they both work off Valve's old Source engine.While this update is pretty weird, it's not one of the strangest fixes we've seen for TF2. In 2014, one patch fixed a bug that teleported players to hell, and in 2022, there was an issue where the game would crash if Sniper tried to eat his gun (this happened if you switched to Sniper while Heavy is eating a Sandvich). The complexity of TF2's 'Source spaghetti' or 'spaghetti code' has been joked about for almost as long as the game's been out. There've also been issues where characters could hold multiple weapons at once, as well as false stories of the fabled coconut.jpg, which was thought to hold up the entirety of the game's code. While the coconut.jpg story might be a tall tale, take one look at code comments from Valve during the development of Half-Life or TF2, and you can understand why it fooled so many. Some of my favourite comments include "// I don't know why, I don't want to know why, I shouldn't have to wonder why, but for whatever reason this stupid panel isn't laying out correctly unless we do this terribleness" and "// make the unbumped version not so [CENSORED] stupid and not need tangentSpaceTranspose you knob." We already knew that TF2 was canon in Half-Life's universe, thanks to a tiny Scout figurine that can be found in Half-Life Alyx, but this has opened the floodgates for players to confirm in a roundabout way that the opposite is also true: "The tenth class was accidentally leaked," one player jokes, Whether this is true or not isn't really important, but what does matter is that Gordon Freeman accidentally loading into TF2 may be the closest we'll get to a Half-Life 3, which makes this whole ordeal even funnier. https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/team-fortress-2s-latest-silly-business-sees-the-game-crashing-because-it-thought-players-were-gordon-freeman/
