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.

[–] [email protected] 116 points 10 months ago (1 children)

True, but apparently you need to be insane to crack Denuvo.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Or are driven insane in the efforts of cracking Denuvo.

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”?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm still stuck on "science-based"

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (6 children)

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.

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?

From what I gathered, she's pretty much a genius at cracking

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So basically this is:

"mess with the best. Die like the [insert random offensive slur here]"

[–] [email protected] 25 points 10 months ago

I think you may need to add some more slur placeholders in there, but yes.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Cracking Denuvo is hard as fuck!
No matter how unhinged she is, she's very talented.

I legit don't even know what's even worth playing/cracking these days. It feels like a gaming drought rn

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago (4 children)

I've switched to indie games or older releases in my backlog

Man,I understand why only like 2 complete lunatics are still willing to crack denuvo

But why must it be so

[–] [email protected] 34 points 10 months ago (8 children)

Love it all except the r word. It’s not 1990 folks.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 10 months ago

She is so much worse. https://www.reddit.com/r/Gamingcirclejerk/comments/119qt6p/nsfw_language_empress_who_cracked_hogwarts/

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago (4 children)

as long as she is cracking denuvo she can say all the slurs she wants as far as im concerned

[–] [email protected] 36 points 10 months ago

Have some self respect.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 10 months ago

Naw, she can fuck off. https://www.reddit.com/r/Gamingcirclejerk/comments/119qt6p/nsfw_language_empress_who_cracked_hogwarts/

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago

She makes a handful of digital toys free. Slurs hurt real people. Keep this in context

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Sad to hear that but not going to fight about it

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (7 children)

Isn't she also talking about a trans woman using masculine pronouns?

Well that's not unhinged at all...

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

Empress is my problematic fave.

MMO? Does it happen to be dragon based?
