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.
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

I’m still stuck on “science-based”
deleted by creator
We call that “science fiction”, not 100% science-based
Common mistake, is not 100% science based, is science based, 100% dragon.

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?

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.

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

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
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.
Man,I understand why only like 2 complete lunatics are still willing to crack denuvo
But why must it be so

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…

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?
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.

True, but I don’t think that’s the case here.
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.

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
deleted by creator
Isn’t she also talking about a trans woman using masculine pronouns?
She’s a massive transphobe.
Despite (to my understanding) being trans herself(probably not true, edited to remove)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!

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.
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 🤷🏻♂️
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
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.
MMO? Does it happen to be dragon based?
I hope it would be science-based if so. Following how dragons would actually evolve.
Yes! I want the most scientifically accurate dragons.
