from her telegram
Are her screeds deranged? Yeah. Are they interesting to read? Also yeah.
Isn’t this that lady who’s mental mental chicken oriental?
I mean sure reads like that with how she was describing that other guy
Empress is my problematic fave.
I legit don’t even know what’s even worth playing/cracking these days. It feels like a gaming drought rn
I’ve switched to indie games or older releases in my backlog
I have switched to movies. Sold gpu and built a home theatre.
I just can’t be fucked to sit on my butt and press the keys anymore. Not after being in the game in VR which is in hiatus. Flat games are just seriously the worst from both storytelling worlds.I have trouble sitting down and forcing myself to watch a whole movie or TV show. Just like games, no movies really interest me. I’ve tried to get into anime but a lot of them have weird cringy tropes I can’t get past.
100% there are a lot of indie games worth trying
Sadly most of them are in early access and never get finished but they’re still fun
Shoutout to Slay the Princess. It was honestly one of the best games I have played in years and it was created by a husband / wife duo so it is as indie as it comes.
Basically nothing AAA as far as I’m aware. Only major AAA releases I’ve had any interest in are the Sega relaunches (JSR, Crazy Taxi, etc), but some of the rumors I’ve heard aren’t good so I dunno how much hope I should put into it. Everything else is either indie or old console games.
Following Empress’ bullshit via Telegram screenshots is a fun experience. I like to think of it as the B-plot of digital piracy.
I dig their cracks but i don’t follow the drama. Care to offer a primer on the soap opera?
Go into the notes of almost any of their releases and you’ll find borderline schizophrenic screeds full of hate and bigotry. Racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, thinking the Harry Potter series is good, all kinds of shit. Also, at least once she said she was going to jail because she was caught cracking something but kept putting out releases without any disruption. Here’s one from the time she was accused of being a trans woman (cw: all of the above)
they always have such a unique way of communicating over text
Damn, i had no idea she was this off her rocker.
thinking the Harry Potter series is good
One of these things is not like the other?
She was also on lemmy.ml for a very short time.
bro got banned before people started to notice her lol.
she pretended she got arrested by some guys on reddit who leaked her address
some serious people ON REDDIT managed to report me to authority with my real address, i am not quiet sure how it happened, but even with putting my philosophical side aside, i think i pissed off the entire internet just by trying to control “MY” own crack for 24 hour is actually something i am still not able to believe. in less than an hour, i will be dragged out of my home here with my lawyer, but considering i was caught red handed while preparing version 2 fix for my immortals crack, i don’t think there will be much of hope against it at all.
Her message to those who had insulted her was totally not at all bitter – she thought they were ‘all beautiful people’ who she definitely didn’t hate, because they had just made a mistake. This was all somewhat rich for a woman who was rapidly developing hints of megalomania and power-madness.
And then she made an Obi-wan-esque speech about ‘remembering me’ and ‘contuing on my path’.
Everyone was quick to point out the flaws here. The police generally don’t bust down your door, catching you ‘red-handed’ cracking Denuvo, then call you to tell you they’re going to arrest you in an hour, so you have time to write out a long and dramatic letter blaming others for your woes. —this write-up
empress good cracker emperess get big head empress thinks shes plato reincarnate she is not empress mad she isnt seen as brilliant as she feels empress gets banned from reddit empress drip feeds latest crack out of spite empress hates repackers for taking attention she deserves repackers turn their backs on her empress is """""""raided""""""" by police empress is miraculously freed the next dayalso went on a weird ass transphobic rant in one of her nfos
Literally everything she listed there except life/death has gradients. Like does she not realize that words like Day, Night, Hot, Cold, are all just terms humans applied to describe something? Has she not heard of cool, warm, dusk, dawn, twilight, noon, afternoon, evening, morning?
-day/night, etc
Once she pieces together that dusk and dawn are in there too she’ll figure out day should be mid-day and night should be mid-night. She’s right there to becoming history’s second timecuber. All she needs to do is take that step past duality, from two to four.
It’s genuinely a lot. EMPRESS has an ego, and has started shit with anyone they can. This ranges from other crackers, to repackers, to the people requesting cracks. They see themselves as the hot shit because “I’m the only one who can crack Denuvo”.
Love it all except the r word. It’s not 1990 folks.
Isn’t she also talking about a trans woman using masculine pronouns?
She’s a massive transphobe despite (to my understanding) being trans herself
Okay hold up, I’m going to need a reference on her being trans herself. Because no, as far as I am aware, she is in fact just a transphobe.
Honestly I don’t keep up with her drama all that much but when I was more in the loop I definitely recall people referencing the ‘fact’ she is trans.
Literally no source now though because its been years, so feel free to disregard it as baseless.
Edit: Honestly, thinking about it now, that might have been some misogynists who just couldn’t accept that a cisgender woman could be talented enough at computer related stuff to crack denuvo. So I’m gonna erase “empress is trans” from my brain.
Are you thinking of fitgirl? She’s notoriously been a target for hate from Empress, who I think may have accused her of being trans at one point? Though like, as a trans girl myself, I can see her being trans just from this webpage: https://fitgirl-repacks.site/games-with-my-personal-pink-paw-award/
Edit: both because of the page itself, but also there’s a bunch of stuff with queer themes in that list. A couple of non-binary protags and a few sapphic romances.
No it was definitely empress being discussed at the time, but I could definitely see fitgirl being trans, as a fellow trans girl!
I’ve seen people accusing her of being a trans woman before, which obviously she has always responded to with transphobia and denial. I see no reason to believe her to be trans unless you have evidence
Yeah, I was in the process of editing my comments when you commented. Hope the edits are suitable, communism.
If you have an issue with retard then you should also have an issue with moron and idiot.
I do have an issue with those terms actually but I think we both know you are being facetious trying to say those 2 are on the exact same level as the slur.
Nope. They all have the same origin and mean the same thing. The one reason retard isnt okay but idiot and moron are culturally is because of the age of the words.
And at least youre logically consistent then.
^
as long as she is cracking denuvo she can say all the slurs she wants as far as im concerned
Have some self respect.
She makes a handful of digital toys free. Slurs hurt real people. Keep this in context
Sad to hear that but not going to fight about it
Bitch, shithead and fucking slut is fine but you take offence at retarded?
Yeah cause bitch, shithead and fucking alut are choices people make, it reflects their behavior.
The other is a slur for disabled people who never chose that.
Make fun of people’s actions, not what they were born with. Simple stuff.
“No no, you don’t understand, I HATE women”
Well one of those is ableist while the other ones are just fun.
Sex shaming is fun?
She said slut referring to herself, and within the context of being a slut for something that isn’t inherently sexual.
Edit: Nope misread that. Either way there are a lot more contexts where one can use slut and not be shitty.
Either way there are a lot more contexts where one can use slut and not be shitty.
True, but I don’t think that’s the case here.
Is one of those a slur for marginalized, at-risk members of society with special needs?
I know, “bitch” and “slut” were originally sexist, but were taken back. These days men, women, LGBTQ+, and all races call each other both. There’s no “punching down”, unlike with the antiquated ‘R’ word…
There’s no “punching down”, unlike with the antiquated ‘R’ word…
Women can’t be “punched down” on? News to me…
Did you read any other words than that, or are you just trying to be argumentative with that strawman?
I clearly didn’t say that. But contrary to those, using ‘R’ or ‘N’ words is always punching down.
If I misunderstood your post, it wasn’t intentional. Would you mind elaborating?
Man,I understand why only like 2 complete lunatics are still willing to crack denuvo
But why must it be so
The only thing I was even looking for being cracked was Lies of P but then the devs themselves removed it from the game and also put the game on sale for super cheap so I just bought it anyway 🤷🏻♂️
Here’s hoping P5R is on the list!
Man it was on sale for $20 on green man gaming a few weeks ago during the “sizzling sale”. Whenever steam has sales check them out IsThereAnyDeal as that’s how I found it. Atb that price, I gave up waiting and caved. I was even able to convert my PS4 save (jailbroken) to PC without losing any progress.
I realize the group I’m in, but I wanted to let others know who are holding off potentially because of the price
“It’s not about the money, it’s about sending a message”.
I refuse Denuvo on principle, only buy worthy games when they remove it. But I think Atlus games never got Denuvo removed? Even after years. So it’s either it gets cracked and I play it, or it doesn’t and I won’t lose sleep over it lol
When it was just released on PC, I saw on Reddit that it probably won’t happen. Apparently Empress does not like anime games and therefore refuses to crack them.
I, myself, have been secretly hoping for it as well though. Got the game on PS5 (ps4 version) and refuse to pay money again for the game (unless it gets a heavy-heavy sale for like 10 bucks or something).
she is “finishing her mmo first” we need more denuvo crackers.
Lol this is how FOSS developers should talk.
Empress making Torvalds’ old communication style look perfectly normal
big understatement, it makes old torvalds look courteous and nice
Well that’s not unhinged at all…
Oh is it happening again? FFS. What war? Who are fighting in this war? Empress vs. ?
whatever shreds of sanity she may or may not have left
Drm
Op… She said she will return AFTER her MMO is ready and is going well.
That won’t happen. There’s no way it doesn’t get stuck in development hell. She’s never coming back.She’s such a narcissist that she couldn’t stay out of the spotlight. lol.
Regardless; I doubt that any game she could develop would be any good; and I shudder to think of what deranged DRM scheme she will cook up to protect her own game. It’ll probably be worse than Denuvo, knowing how unstable she is.
Genuinely, the scene is better without her hate filled screeds polluting the web. Her abilities might be appreciated more if she got some mental help and she could rejoin the scene as a positive force; not someone who lets their ego run rampant and spews hate at the slightest provocation.
Unfortunately the scene is too cowardly to NUKE her output into obscurity until she cleans her spew up.
Well, MMOs don’t really need DRM. They mostly just need anti-cheat. The server can check for legit ownership or not. Usually it’s only single-player games that get cracked.
MMO’s get cracked too. Used to play Ragnarok Online in a pirate sever paying 0$.
They can. It’s a lot harder and different though. It requires emulating the server software and replicating it. It won’t be the same servers as the main game, and also usually requires knowledge of something not provided with the game.
A notorious game cracker stepped away from the game cracking scene to make a game look wut?
