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] 118 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

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

Or are driven insane in the efforts of cracking Denuvo.

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.

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 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm still stuck on "science-based"

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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?

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

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month 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] 33 points 1 month ago

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 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago (8 children)

We need more Denuvo crackers :(

Well that's not unhinged at all...

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month 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] 14 points 1 month ago

Empress is my problematic fave.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

EMPRESS can impress, as the infinite drama-engine.

[–] JackbyDev 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

MMO? Does it happen to be dragon based?
