empress says she is going to return cracking denuvo games
from her telegram
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)
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 day
also 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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?
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.
Is it considered regicide if you take down an empress?
Either way, time to take back the holy land.
Woah, I remember that thing :o Didn't think anyone else would.
... Oh shit, that's still a thing :O Whew.
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]"
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
Yep and I'm all for it, lol.
She is fucking insane and it's pretty damn entertaining (and a bit sad).
I legit don't even know what's even worth playing/cracking these days. It feels like a gaming drought rn
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
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 🤷🏻♂️
"Come on man, if you want to crack, just start cracking games... duuh it's actually so easy dude"
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.
I hope it would be science-based if so. Following how dragons would actually evolve.
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...
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.
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!
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.
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
This is the only real denuvo cracker, sadly. Others exist but they're nowhere near her. The vast majority of denuvo cracks come from this crack. An absolutely unhinged ladybwho runs a sex cult of sorts via telegram. She hates trans people, gay people, anything vaugly progressive, and only supports woman's rights as she believe them supirior. She'll say all this in her NFO files in each crack.
A while back she stopped cracking in order to, as she states, make AI porn then later an MMO.
