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.

[–] InterSynth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

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

Empress is making an MMO? Lol

100% science-based dragon MMO

Are her screeds deranged? Yeah. Are they interesting to read? Also yeah.

[–] Melody@lemmy.one 1 points 11 months ago

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.

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.

We need more Denuvo crackers :(

What's fucking stopping you from learning how to do that shit yourself?

[–] Burghler@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's really hard and time consuming? The fuck you so mad about??

[–] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one -1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I'm not mad, this is how I normally talk. Nothing wrong with using vulgarity.

[–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Lol this is how FOSS developers should talk.

Empress making Torvalds' old communication style look perfectly normal
