@NYCMayor Why don't we get someone other than the perpetrators to investigate the perpetrators, yeah?

The violence used by NYPD officers in this video is extremely disturbing and unacceptable. Officers should never treat a person this way. The NYPD is conducting a full investigation into this incident.

This incident was captured by Sinistratm on Instagram and took place April 14, 2026 in Brooklyn at a liquor store on Hoyt and Baltic street. Brooklyn North Narcotics attempt to arrest a suspect who resists arrest when chaos ensues. What do you all think about this incident?

@RepGesAuto_NieR I think this is very accurate, loss of early films and burning of libraries during crusades are historical memories for the west, we feel the loss of cultural works deeply. 80% of games ever released are lost to time! Imagine if no one archived games, it would be higher!
English
ゲームの「アーカイブ化」、西側が非常にこだわるのはなぜなのだろう？と考察したところ、どうやら彼らはアレクサンドリア図書館の消失が民族的トラウマとなっているフシがある。
レプオート@RepGesAuto_NieR
こういうこと言うと叩かれそうだけど敢えて書いとくと、日本人は「法律=善、違法=悪」という定式が概ね成立してるんだが、海外ではどちらかというともっと柔軟に語られているみたいだ。 ゲームをプレイできない状態は「好ましくない状態」であり「公共の福祉に反している」んだよね。

@omusubirolling1 As a game developer, I feel games are both art and product/commodity; but even as a creator, I don't see the culture of "business rules take priority" here in the west. Once you release something, it's "in the wild". Consumers will dictate their own means of consumption.
English
つまりこういう断絶があるの？
JP「ゲームは製品であり商品だからビジネスのルールが優先される」
EN「ゲームは芸術だからビジネスや法よりも歴史的観点やイデオロギーが優先される」
はくまい🍙日常垢@omusubirolling1
西側の人達、これって本当ですか⁉︎? 本当だったらかなり驚きだけど、私もゲームを「アート」と呼ぶ人達が多い事を昨日から不思議に思ってたから、腑には落ちる。

@wolferko @VartioArtel @St1ka Being honest, there would still be an amount of piracy, but most people who play on PC prefer the ease of Steam; if an easy and reasonably-priced release was available, you would see millions of sales. Of course Nintendo could create their own PC platform to rival steam, tricky!
English
@ASCII_80 @VartioArtel @St1ka そうだね！海賊版による損失なんてぶっ飛んでしまうね！
ただ、任天堂にも矜持があるから、難しいかもしれないね😨Switch2は価格が高いと感じるよ🥹

For years, JP Twitter and Western Twitter heavily romanticized each other.
It only took a week or two of auto-translate for the first major clash to happen. The first of many I'd wager.
I wonder if bridging the language gap will end decades of romanticizing

@sinpen If you live your whole life experiencing corporations treat you and your friends and coworkers as a replaceable number, you never develop any sense of loyalty or respect for corporations in return.
English
@sinpen I think you must understand that the relationship between salarymen and the managers in corporations in the west is vastly more exploitative than that in Japan. In the west workers own little to nothing of the company, and are treated as totally disposable.
English
@wolferko @VartioArtel @St1ka Of course there's the valid argument that Nintendo makes more money by keeping their games on consoles, in order to sell consoles, but many games still don't appear on official emulators. I would argue most people who emulate on PC would buy an official version in a heartbeat
English
@wolferko @VartioArtel @St1ka Yes! As backwards as it may seem, Nintendo would unironically make more money by releasing their games on steam than they would lose to piracy. If every nintendo game was available easily and reasonably priced on PC, you would see nintendo emulation and piracy drop off a lot.
English
@nonuple9 There is a deep sense of loss over the fact that 80% of games and movies are lost to time. We cannot learn from the past if we cannot preserve it.
English
@nonuple9 In 15 years, when the game is no longer for sale, the creators cannot be tracked down, and the game has largely disappeared from the world and internet and cannot be found; I would load it up, see the message, and share it online anyway.
Many games only live on in this way.

海外ニキに質問なんだけど、日本のゲームの冒頭に、
「我々は企業に搾取されていません。ゲームの権利は私たちが持っており、皆さんが払ったお金は我々に還元されます。また、たとえ作品の宣伝になるとしても、海賊版により拡散されることは拒絶します」
という断り書きがあったらどう思います？
日本語
@Mr_Jaguarman @FreeArchivist @AonekoSS It seems one big difference is that in the west we see purchasing a game as equivalent to purchasing a DVD, whereas for you it's a ticket to a show? If a company made my DVD player no longer load my movies, I see no issue using digital copies instead, I purchased it after all
English
@FreeArchivist @AonekoSS ていうかさ、真剣に答えて欲しいんだけど
例えば、最盛期は一つのサーバーに2000人くらいで、今プレイ人数が10人ぽっちのオンラインゲームが仮にあるとして、本気でそれ遊びたい？
実は実際に遊ぶかどうかは別問題で、ただ単に『遊ぶ機会が奪われる事』が嫌なだけなんじゃないの？

「Stop Killing Games」のまとめ。
なんかいっぱい絡まれたから海外ニキと対話（レスバじゃないよw）した結果、要求のレベルが３段階くらいあるのが分かった。
サ終してもオフラインで動くようにしろ派：
いまカリフォルニア州法に提出されてるライン。
メーカーにとっては対応コスト高すぎなんや。どないすんねん……
サーバー立てる為にソースを公開しろ派：
つまり俺らでサーバー立ててホスティングするわって話。
ソースコードなんていう知財と企業秘密の塊をほいほい公開できるわけないやろアホタレって返した。（もう少し優しい言い方）
勝手に解析してサーバー立てるから黙認しろ派：
いまニーアのプライベートサーバーで盛り上がってる界隈かな。
サーバー自体が法に触れるかは難しいけど、そのサーバーに繋ぐよう改造したアプリを撒くなら、それは紛れもなく「海賊版」なんだよね。
あと共通点として。
ゲームをオフライン版に改修するコストがほぼゼロだと思ってるっぽい。
ゲームは「購入」して「所有」するものという認識で、ライブサービスを受けている自覚がない。
大手メーカーをすげー嫌ってる。（でもゲームは買ってプレイしている）
だいたいこんな感じかな。
英語とスペイン語が多くて、英語話者もヨーロッパのアカウントが多い感じだった。
青猫@AonekoSS
ゲームの保全運動、それ自体には反対してないのよね。 例えばサ終時のDRMの解除とか、それなりに実現可能な範囲の要求なら良い話だとも思うんだけど…… プレイ環境の継続やアーカイブの為のコストを全部メーカー側に負担させようってのは、そもそもの趣旨からして違うんでないのってのが率直な感想。

@ritovaku1980 @darthlast @AllbonesJones In the west, an artist is someone who contributes *to* society, and when they are done contributing, society takes stewardship of the art.
In Japan, it seems artists are catered to by society, and society must must respect and elevate the artist, am I close?
English
@ritovaku1980 @darthlast @AllbonesJones It may sound ridiculous to you, but it is the status quo in the west, there is no controversy about this whatsoever. In Japan there is no controversy that you respect the creator's wishes. We both have the same level of assurance about our own morality, they are just different
English
I guess the NieR situation is:
🇯🇵: All things are impermanent and you must respect the creator's wishes, even if you dislike his decision.
🇺🇸: Humans are impermanent. Art is not. We must preserve art so the future is beautiful.
Ancient Greeks would call this an incompatible telos
English
@rutoakabu @DarkXessZ @AllbonesJones Where does the selection bias start for which laws are bad and which ones are infallible? As a westerner the idea that breaking speed limits and red lights is more safe and acceptable than copying games that are no longer for sale, this is very ridiculous to me.
English
@DarkXessZ @AllbonesJones 日本では法に盲目に従わせようとし、議論さえ許さない少数のリベラル教条主義者の影響が大きいため、悪法は撤廃ではなく、現実と折り合いをつけて、無視されます。
例えば道路の制限速度は無視されています。（標識の+20kmまではスピードを出さないとむしろ迷惑になります）

@FranklinKek @NYCMayor Because Florida and Texas don't contain New York City, dumbass.

@NYCMayor If the ultra-wealthy and global elites can just pack up and leave for Florida or Texas, why do you think they'll stick around to pay your new taxes?

@konsumensch @JayW21400227 @verifiedjeff @CalltoActivism You are conflating Capitalism with Oligarchy, you're on the right track.

🚨HUGE! In a stunning win for his tax the rich plan, Mayor Zohran Mamdani just reached a deal with Governor Kathy Hochul tax second homes valued over $5 million owned by out-of-state residents. The taxes will generate $500 million annually for the state. This is amazing.

@Teecasket @asdkzqito I'm now learning it's just an effect of legalism, equating morality with legality
English
@Teecasket @asdkzqito This is not something they comprehend. If it is being pirated, then sales must be lost, surely; even if the product is no longer available, no longer for sale, and no longer in the catalogue.
This is why westerners say piracy is preservation.

「売ってくれないなら諦めろ。海賊版は絶対にダメ」って風潮、本当に嫌い。合法的には絶対に手に入らないなら、海賊版は正当化されるだろと。言論統制やおかしな規制のせいでアクセス出来るべき表現を享受出来ない人間も居る。そうした人間に「売ってくれないなら諦めろ。大人しく言論統制されとけ。」
