  • 10 - Don't humiliate women in any way, shape, or form
  • 16 - I'm allowed to rape and violate you

Who the fuck is this toxic person?

The only person on this planet who cracks denuvo :_D

She is a misandric, homophobic, transphobic, extremely irascible, conflictive, psychotic, rude, narcissistic, paranoid, conspiratorial, liar and a long etcetera that probably includes schizophrenia and drugs. Oh, and she has a cult, she is multifaceted ¯_(ツ)_/¯

You seem to have dropped this arm: \

I swear to god I can’t tell anymore if she’s actually insane or if this is an elaborate act.

It reeks of both.

Why u swearing things to me 🤔

[–] LinyosT@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because I want answers, God!

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Then God's the last person you should ask.

Saw someone the other day say something like "she's the only one who cracks denuvo. She's insane but it's best not to bite the hand that feeds you."

My brother in christ the hand is biting YOU. I would not trust ANYTHING she cracks anywhere near my PC. Consider it all malware.

[–] darkkite@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

unless this is an extremely long con. I haven't heard of any reports of her cracks being malware. in the case of RE village her crack improved performance vs capcom's DRM.

No gayness? Count me out

[–] Devious_Thoughts@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No gay content? What is this, Nazi Germany 1984?

[–] Neato@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She's a huge bigot. Was on reddit as well to the point she got banned. Which is saying something.

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I dunno, these days getting banned from reddit is more of a rite of passage.

Imagine if you rounded up all the hateful, power hungry, bigoted misanthropes from the Warez forums of old and combined them into one. That's Empress.

Imagine the absolute reckoning if someone managed to touch her with a blade of grass. The singularity would reverse the big bang.

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Does she post nudes or why does anybody care about this person?

An absolute psychopath who also happens to be the only person willing to crack Denuvo.

[–] 133arc585@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isn't there another person who knows how, but just restricts themselves to very specific games? I wonder if there's any way to convince them to help replace the too-far-gone Empress. I understand they probably also don't want to just make the cracking info public, as it would presumably just accelerate the cat-and-mouse game, but perhaps they could be convinced to help bring a new person up to speed? I wonder if they could be convinced by donations to mentor an Empress replacement?

[–] CheshireSnake@iusearchlinux.fyi 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

From what I've read (take this with a grain of salt), the person you're talking about cracks games with a much older version of denuvo. They're apparently a lot easier to crack than those being done by this psycho.

[–] 133arc585@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

Ah interesting. That is unfortunate.

[–] Gellis12@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm out of the loop, what's the context for all this?

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Empress is pretty much the only person who cracks Denuvo DRM - the only other person who publicly releases cracks only does it for Football Manager games. However, Empress is just a little unhinged, as this post demonstrates.

There was an r/HobbyDrama reddit post that covers much of the history: https://www.reddit.com/r/HobbyDrama/comments/rowk83/digital_piracy_the_rise_of_empress_how_one_woman/
