I got banned for quoting a subreddit rule to a mod (as a reason the mod was out of line) after they posted why they banned someone. I may not be good at sports or computers, but I’m part of the team now!
I got banned from a subreddit for pointing out to the mod that their comment equating “receiving a poor-quality product” to “rape” was unnecessary and short-sighted. They then told me that they were a victim, thus it is okay.
Is she really a bigot? To me she just appears to be someone who can not seperate porn from other aspects of her life. Does she really hate all these groups of people even outside this “Mother” persona?
Problem is the damage what this unstable person can do. She’s distributing binaries that are executed on windows PC with security measures disabled on purpose. If she went rogue and started inserting malware or cryotominers, tons of people would be affected.
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.
I liked the idea of hobby drama, but most of the posts were too long for me to want to get through. I’d end up leaving the tab open for weeks and then just closing them.
BORU on the other hand became something of an addiction.
I came to the comments to see if there really could be a person this deranged, and looks like she has a long history of this shit. What the fuck. Thanks for posting that link.
I find it hard to believe that a person with such a mindset exists, I can’t open her group for more than a few minutes it is just too much like oh god I can’t take more of this WTF
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.
Not can but is willing to. Denuvo’s legal team is going after anyone who reverse engineers any part of their DRM and they have gotten a lot of groups to back off. Empress is in Russia so she won’t face any consequences unless she pisses off any of the Russian oligarchs, which also means she probably will never crack Atomic Heart but then again she is crazy.
I’m really really surprised nobody else has hunkered down to learn how to crack Denuvo just to give this toxic shit the middle-finger. I mean, piracy groups are full of autistic weapons, and nobody has taken up the challenge?
Cracking Denuvo requires being there from the start, since with every new release new obstacles are added. If you try to crack denuvo now you’ll be completely lost, and getting copies of old Denuvo doesn’t seem this easy I guess. Empress had been there since Denuvo v1 so 🤷♂️
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)_/¯
If you have no other competition in a specific service whatsoever, no matter how many people despise you, you’d still be the most popular by lack of competition.
If you use a definition that includes anything like “liked and admired” then she doesn’t fit. Her service is busy but as this thread shows, most people openly state they only go to her because they have no other choice for these cracks.
Using popular hides how many people actively want to jump ship if only there was competition. It’s like saying that Comcast is popular because they have so many customers who don’t have a viable alternative to using them.
I’m sorry for, pointing out how popular isn’t the best choice of word?
But no matter how you slice it, popular isn’t a great descriptor. Whether you choose the prescriptivist “the dictionary says x thus the word means x no matter what” or the descriptivist “most people use the word to mean y thus the word means y no matter what”, in this case they both agree.
Both groups agree that when I say “Jim is popular” it makes you think that people generally like Jim. It evokes some level of communal approval. The dictionary literally defines the word to mean likeable, and the general usage still seems to denote general approval.
So either way, it doesn’t represent the Empress situation. A situation where the majority of the community at best doesn’t care and at worst openly dislikes her as a person because of her behavior, but still comes back for the games. She has a monopoly, but that doesn’t make her inherently popular. Most people who know seem to dislike, and most who don’t will also have no bearing on her popularity.

Rules 10 and 16 seem to be contradictory. What if one of her “followers” was a woman and she humiliates her?
I am sure she will come up with a way to justify that.
Can it get worse than this?
At this point she must be trolling, right? RIGHT?
We can only hope
Mental illnesses is hell of a drug…
Most sane telegram user
Its ridiculous, dont know why people bother with that, just wait for the cracks…
True man I am wondering how little self dignity one must have to still stick around after this.
No gay content? What is this, Nazi Germany 1984?
She’s apparently from Russia, so basically.
Gross lmao
She’s a huge bigot. Was on reddit as well to the point she got banned. Which is saying something.
I dunno, these days getting banned from reddit is more of a rite of passage.
I got banned for quoting a subreddit rule to a mod (as a reason the mod was out of line) after they posted why they banned someone. I may not be good at sports or computers, but I’m part of the team now!
The classic one is the code of conduct stating “Set reasonable rules and expectations” which most bans don’t meet.
I got banned from a subreddit for pointing out to the mod that their comment equating “receiving a poor-quality product” to “rape” was unnecessary and short-sighted. They then told me that they were a victim, thus it is okay.
Lol. Reddit moderation is a joke.
Btw that mod frequents lemmy too, now.
I once got tempbanned for making the joke “You live at 127.0.0.1”, but that may be the admin not knowing about localhost
“Hey I know how to access ur router, be spooked: 192.168.0.1” LOL
Is she really a bigot? To me she just appears to be someone who can not seperate porn from other aspects of her life. Does she really hate all these groups of people even outside this “Mother” persona?

I don’t care about his “rules” or his attention seeking addiction. All I care about are the games that he cracks.
Problem is the damage what this unstable person can do. She’s distributing binaries that are executed on windows PC with security measures disabled on purpose. If she went rogue and started inserting malware or cryotominers, tons of people would be affected.
Whether that would be worse than running Denuvo malware is up for debate lol
Bet they are gonna complain that there were no signs. No one could have predicted this.
Straight to business. I like it.
I’m out of the loop, what’s the context for all this?
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/
When are we going to get a Hobbydrama community on Lemmy?
@Corkyskog @TWeaK make one yourself on here. It’s easy
I liked the idea of hobby drama, but most of the posts were too long for me to want to get through. I’d end up leaving the tab open for weeks and then just closing them.

What is BORU?
r/BestofRedditorUpdates. They tie together posts from other subreddits where the user came back some time later and posted an update.

I came to the comments to see if there really could be a person this deranged, and looks like she has a long history of this shit. What the fuck. Thanks for posting that link.
Holy shit, she’s even crazier than I thought, yikes
I find it hard to believe that a person with such a mindset exists, I can’t open her group for more than a few minutes it is just too much like oh god I can’t take more of this WTF
Plenty of men have this mindset, so why not women?
This is not an excuse nor a justification for having such a lunatic behavior
Didn’t say it was. Just that this shouldn’t surprise you.
This is discord, right? So what do they even discuss there? I don’t know what there is to talk about.
Telegram and who cares what they discuss it’s all baloney I bet.
So what’s her actual name? Didn’t know she shared it
FSB agent Ivan Ivanovich. But her friends call her Iva.
Everyone in that Telegram group, including her, needs help.
Especially her.
Doubt helping her is in any way possible
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.
Yeah it is quite clear that this lady is a lost cause 🤣
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.
Who the fuck is this toxic person?
The only person that can crack denuvo right now.
Clearly fucked in the head but there’s no other option.
Not can but is willing to. Denuvo’s legal team is going after anyone who reverse engineers any part of their DRM and they have gotten a lot of groups to back off. Empress is in Russia so she won’t face any consequences unless she pisses off any of the Russian oligarchs, which also means she probably will never crack Atomic Heart but then again she is crazy.

I think it’s more likely that there are others who don’t publicly share their cracks because they doesn’t want legal trouble/attention.
I don’t buy this. It’s easy to upload files anonymously.
Yeah but why take that risk? They don’t really gain anything.
They can’t gain recognition, uploading anonymously. But if someone purely wants the crack for the game to exist they could do it
Once again, why would they share their cracks if its for personal use?
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 misspelled “she’s a garbage human”
She’s the one
My m8y in pilfering, not even I reckon I could patch the holes in that bilge sucking wench
and imagines herself as a rapist, and is proud of it (per her posted content)
You seem to have dropped this arm: \
Thanks glad you picked it up I almost tripped over it at the bottom of the page
Obviously she only rapes and violates men
One of the most popular sources for game piracy unfortunately
Popular feels like the wrong word. If you’re the only game in town for a specific service, that doesn’t inherently mean you’re popular.
If you have no other competition in a specific service whatsoever, no matter how many people despise you, you’d still be the most popular by lack of competition.
Depends on how exactly you define popular.
If you use a definition that includes anything like “liked and admired” then she doesn’t fit. Her service is busy but as this thread shows, most people openly state they only go to her because they have no other choice for these cracks.
Using popular hides how many people actively want to jump ship if only there was competition. It’s like saying that Comcast is popular because they have so many customers who don’t have a viable alternative to using them.
Holy fuck go back to Reddit
I’m sorry for, pointing out how popular isn’t the best choice of word?
But no matter how you slice it, popular isn’t a great descriptor. Whether you choose the prescriptivist “the dictionary says x thus the word means x no matter what” or the descriptivist “most people use the word to mean y thus the word means y no matter what”, in this case they both agree.

She has a monopoly, but that doesn’t make her inherently popular. Most people who know seem to dislike, and most who don’t will also have no bearing on her popularity.
He’s not saying she has a popular personality she’s saying her cracks are popular because they are, you pedant
Typo in 3 that makes her look a fool with rule 0.
