from her telegram
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.
She was also on lemmy.ml for a very short time.
bro got banned before people started to notice her lol.
thinking the Harry Potter series is good
One of these things is not like the other?
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”.
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
-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.
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?
The world would be a much less interesting place if someone besides her was cracking Denuvo.
True, but apparently you need to be insane to crack Denuvo.
Or are driven insane in the efforts of cracking Denuvo.
She peers into the Denuvo Eye of Terror for the good of us all.
What the hell is Denuvo?
Copy protection software that is very hard to crack because it seems to be everywhere in the game binary so you have to meticulously go through the whole thing to weed it out.
It’s been known to slow games down because it’s called too often to check if your game copy is not pirated.
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?
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.Empress is making an MMO? Lol
100% science-based dragon MMO
To this day I still don’t understand what “100% dragon” means.
Is it like they’re pure breads? Are there literally no other animals? Is it some sort of 90’s style emphatic like “maximum overdrive 100% turbo dragon”?
I’m still stuck on “science-based”
I mean I “get it” I think? It’s like trying to make a science-based time travel movie. You operate with strict rules and try to keep grounded in our current reality where possible. Some theoretical concepts at least feel more “realistic” than others.
Game of Thrones tried to be somewhat grounded compared to say, Warcraft which is very high fantasy with a lot less basis in reality.
We call that “science fiction”, not 100% science-based
Common mistake, is not 100% science based, is science based, 100% dragon.
You really do not see the distinction I’m drawing?
It’s not about the degree of genetic hybridization but rather what’s playable. 100% dragon MMO means there’s only dragons, no other playable creatures. Pretty straightforward, no?
100% pure breads 🍞
Aged like wine
God damn nerd dragons
Lmao thank you! I was literally coming to the comments to make that joke when I read she was making an MMO
I can’t wait until it’s revealed to be a worse version of Active Worlds filled to the brim with their insane ramblings.
It’s anyone taking bets on if she’s going to use denuvo?
It only runs on TempleOS.
Is it considered regicide if you take down an empress?
Either way, time to take back the holy land.
Yes, any murder of a monarch is a regicide.
Woah, I remember that thing :o Didn’t think anyone else would.
… Oh shit, that’s still a thing :O Whew.
And all of her simps will fall over eachother at her feet over this.
Why hasn’t anyone yet done the ballsy move by just learning her tricks and distributing that to everyone to learn? Why does it have to be this unhinged bitch?
From what I gathered, she’s pretty much a genius at cracking
Cracking Denuvo isn’t particularly hard as much as it is extremely tedious. Checks are baked everywhere in the game code, so there are (at least) thousands of little edits you have to make, and if only one of them was implemented wrong or hasn’t been located (this is gamecode, tied to in-game events), no more game. (This is a flawed explanation, but you get the deal)
It’s enough to drive most crackers insane… hence EMPRESS.
I only took 1 Reverse Engineering class in my CompSci program, so I could be wrong… but I am pretty sure it is both extremely tedious and also extremely difficult to crack Denuvo
It is pretty entertaining though, isn’t it? Like, this is the closest we will ever get to the movie Hackers, but in real life.
So basically this is:
“mess with the best. Die like the [insert random offensive slur here]”
I think you may need to add some more slur placeholders in there, but yes.
Cracking Denuvo is hard as fuck!
No matter how unhinged she is, she’s very talented.I like to believe that if anyone else succeeds in cracking Denuvo, they will become as insane as empress in the process
deleted by creator
It doesn’t help that almost everyone good enough to crack it gets paid really well to improve it.
Empress being a notable exception cos she’s insane
You answer the question yourself
ahh i guess there will be more unhinged fetish-fueled slur filled screeds
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 🤷🏻♂️
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
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.
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.
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.
We need more Denuvo crackers :(
don’t call them that.
What’s fucking stopping you from learning how to do that shit yourself?
It’s really hard and time consuming? The fuck you so mad about??
“Come on man, if you want to crack, just start cracking games… duuh it’s actually so easy dude”
I’m not mad, this is how I normally talk. Nothing wrong with using vulgarity.
Makes you come across a little aggressive
That’s cool. I don’t care.
It’s okay, we all were 14 once.
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
Well that’s not unhinged at all…
Man,I understand why only like 2 complete lunatics are still willing to crack denuvo
But why must it be so
As unhinged as her rants are, I find them enjoyable. Especially this post. Though I suppose this post is far milder than many of her previous works. 🤣
I look towards the future with some hope.
Empress is my problematic fave.
