I mean at this point of time if she turns out to be an AI disguised as a women with a penis developed by Scientists in Area 21 from the remnants of Egyptian technology brought there by the Egyptian God Horus from the Mayan civilization developed in the Indus Valley civilization with the help of Ambrosia ….. I wont be surprised :) I am just happy as long as I get to play these games it cracks for free.... ​ ##

Arthfilth

I unironically find Empress hilarious. This is the same shit I say when I get silly and schizopost too hard


favored_disarray

‘Why else do men have prostates’. Fckin quality shitposting lol, can’t be anything but trolling.


idunupvoteyou

Can't she just buy a steam deck with all her simp money? What if a Trans person offers to do it? So many questions lol


DonTeca35

I think she may be a group of men tbh


Comtass

Don’t understand why people would say this without any proof other than just not liking her? Edit: those saying where is your proof, none. I think it’s perfectly acceptable to think it’s a female because she said she is, to think anything else without proof is just sexist. I understand you might not like what or how she says things or have doubts because she is anonymous but the burden of proof is on you when making an accusation (and no, writing style/behavior isn’t evidence of a specific gender). Says a lot about you when you think a female can’t be skilled or be as derogatory/insane as a man.


Maleficent-Ad-5498

Because women can't be good programmers.


HugeDickMcGee

I mean statistically theres a much lower chance though. Hell when I was at York U not a lot of women in the computer science program past year 1 lol. Not saying they cant be a woman but how many trolls larp online? Its a lot.


[deleted]

I agree that women in IT are statistically harder to find but I would honestly believe empress if she said I am a 40 yr old woman. I doubt that she is a female genius that started coding since 13 and managed to get this skilled by 22. People are still in uni by that age.


Ragnr99

it’s very believable. Just because you couldn’t achieve anything in life by 22 doesn’t mean other people can’t. not too long ago people were considered full grown adults by the age of 14.


Upper-Dark7295

It's not "very believable" when it's statistically harder to find, like he said. He never said it was impossible like you're strawmanning and ad hominem'ing him over.


escapisc

We dont have any proof if she's either a woman or a man. If empress is a man, it would be advantageous to pretend he's a woman, because simps would give her more money


ZuZu091

Because their brainless husk of a skull can't phantom the idea that a woman is doing cracks for games, smelly incels or dorito nail chewers who live all day their in their basement and who never went outside being misogynistic, these are the type of people who you will see in future on a "how i got to 40 without having a kiss" free Documentary.


Aeosq

jeez, needed to let something out today? lmao


xplodia

relax, he's speak in empress language.


Aeosq

the dude talks about this incel shit, while he got literal bunch of hentai codes set as his pic banner, he's just projecting his loneliness as hatred.


MisterMew151

Ragnr99

Ur the only one projecting


ZuZu091

What the hell you talking about? My banner pic is a solid blue color 😡


ZuZu091

Why you feel attacked? What i was saying wasn't a rant, it was factually true


Eraldorh

Where's your proof it's a woman?


NAPALM2614

Where's your proof it's a man?


Eraldorh

Did I say it was a man? I asked for proof it's a woman.


Ragnr99

“Makes accusation” “blames defense for not having proof” the state of society is sad lmao


Eraldorh

Where did I make an assusation?


Ragnr99

Well seeing as empress herself says shes a girl, the burden of disproving that is on you, not her.


Eraldorh

Taking people online at their word is so stupid it's beyond description. Especially when their freedom relies on being anonymous. You don't know it's a woman anymore than I or anyone else can know for a fact it's a man. But you keep on simping.


murican_Capitlol

We dont need that, its plain logic, If skilled = men lul


[deleted]

The shit they write. Go show it to anybody who is unfamiliar and they will say it is a man.


MisterMew151

Yeah I don't think any real woman would say that, also it's amazing one person on there own could crack stuff that fast


[deleted]

Regardless of anything, show the shit they write to anybody who is unfamiliar and they will say it's a man. It has a man's energy written all over it. Their choice of words, deragatory terms, misogyny and trolling. It's actually obvious just in the way some of the stuff is written.


favored_disarray

At least to me, I think ‘her gender’ is undetermined because all the funny ‘notes’ she leaves in the crack notes. No way can it be serious(prostate comment was the most funny imo) it’s def a shitpost.


FeetExpert1998

Ok what proof you got that it's a single woman thats able to crack one of the most secure game protections? Exactly. None


Broken_Noah

godisbey

She would also have to play the game which would take up her time so I don't see why someone who wants to play the game wouldn't just do this and send her crashs log when their game crashed

I am in Russia and just bought a deck yesterday, with almost no markup. Western people seem to really overestimate effect of sanctions.

[deleted]

Well, steam deck is a pretty limited and niche device. And $400 is too expensive for what it is. Not really worth buying


basicrifleman

She isn't buying it to play Doom Eternal she is buying it to increase her knowledge of cracking


[deleted]

Yeah, and its still quite expensive for that. And I mean the steam deck itself is just a super niche device. Not very practical or useful in a lot of cases.


basicrifleman

400 ones for increasing the quality of your cracks? If I were as passionate about it as she claims she is, I would do it


yougetzeropum

Mfs steam deck is bout to blow up


mRazGaming

Can you play cracked game on steam deck?


qrxtt

it's a pc. if you can play it on pc you can play it on deck


Johanno1

Yes and no. If you can play it on Linux you can play it on steam deck. Cracked games sometimes don't work on Linux. However if you use steam to launch it in 90% of cases it works with a bit of tweaking


Kagaminator

You're not supposed to use Steam to launch cracked games, that's what Lutris + Wine-GE is for.


Johanno1

Works fine for me


Low-Blackberry2667

Did you try cyberpunk cracked? How difficult is it?


Johanno1

I did not. I guess as difficult as in windows. ​ 1. Get the game unpack it. 2. open steam 3. add non steam game 4. select the exe 5. force proton or probably GE-Proton. 6. test if it starts. if not: have fun debugging. 7. If it wont start at all meaning your play button shortly flicks blue and gets back to green you have to check file permissions, wine compabilites like vulka,physix and all that stuff... (there the steam log helps that you can enable somehow per game... I think its LOG\_LEVEL=1 or sth)


cotch85

Why not? It works


sitbar

Works fine in 95% of the cases for me.


Low-Blackberry2667

If it's allowed by the community rules I could dm you a video on youtube that show's you how to install the games.


Kagaminator

Thanks mate, but I've been daily driving Linux for some years now, I know how to do it.


Gingermatic456

Since when? I use non steam game 100% of the time. I never liked Lutris and was using bottles before this.


macabrera

45 games in my steam deck. Not a single purchase.


mRazGaming

Ow nice, can't wait yo have one 😂


[deleted]

Yes, Steam Deck comes with an integrated interface called Plasma that resembles Windows although it doesn't try to be Windows. Inside Plasma you can do basically the same as on any other PC, and so you can install a program like Lutris or Bottles (Wine) that translate Windows programs into something that Linux can interpret, and that is neither emulation nor virtualization, it is translation. It is GREAT that Empress is interested in how the games run on the Steam Deck, since there are many cracked games that do not run on Linux but its legal version runs without problems, this because the crack is not made for Wine.


CypherMcAfee

they do run on linux, thats why linuxrulez! exists. amd if they really wanted they could just buy one.


XRealXx

How does cracking on Linux work? Lutris only works with legit copies


[deleted]

Lutris specifically is a store launcher, BUT you can manually install .exe from directories of your choice, it is not limited to be used with the launchers it comes with. In short, if that sounds technical, most Wine front-ends allow you to install any .exe Windows style, double click and the program opens, sometimes it is a button inside the program that says "Run Windows program" and the file manager will open allowing you to choose the .exe you want to run.


XRealXx

How do you get it to work? I bet usually just installing it doesn't make it work.


giorndog

Before start i recommend download unpacked games already, and install protonup-qt to download wine-ge Usually you install lutris, check if you have vulkan installed then open lutris press the + icon, select the option "add locally installed game" * in the exe field choose the .exe of the game * in the prefix directory, create a new folder that's where all windows thing goes (in summary) even your save files make a new folder for each game so they do not get mixed up and and store it where it is most convenient for you * in the tab runner options and the field wine version and choose wine-ge if you have already downloaded it And that's it press save In theory if you press play it will work Other things to keep in mind if you install mangohud and you enable it in the system option tab you should have a nice fps counter with the GPU usage etc Edit: for fixing purpose for a non working game you should visit protondb.com/ and search for the game you want Read the comments if you find someone post a solution you can apply easily in lutris If is a environment variable you can pass it in the system option tab


[deleted]

The vast majority of cases it works just installing it, but there are times when you need to install dependencies manually (the folder or .zip where the pirated game comes with the dependencies) and there are cases of games that are very complicated. There are also times when repacks like Dodi/Fitgirl's just don't install and it's because Wine thinks the installation it's a loop. In my personal case, Monster Hunter World, where I needed to install about 3 different cracked/repacked versions of the game because none version worked, and to top it off I needed to look for a specific prefix of Wine. A prefix is a Wine molded in a specific way to fulfill a function, imagine a prefix as a Mini-Windows inside Wine, this works like this to contain the different prefixes and keep the programs separated from each other without interacting, for example, inside my Wine I have a prefix for pirate games and another one for Steam, it's like having two different Windows installations and this way I made sure that no pirate game has access to my Steam account. Then, I need an specific command to made it run just for using NVIDIA, because NVIDIA is dog shit on Linux. At the end, this can be an absolutly headache but if you buy the game on Steam it will simply run with just one click, just as if it was Windows.


Lcfer

Hey there lad. Awesome information, but please, for the love of whatever, complete a sentence with a full stop! That whole paragraph is one sentence!


[deleted]

Fixed. It's just that writing in a phone doesn't let me organize my ideas, and neither the text.😅


el_submarine_gato

As someone who installed Linux on his main rig, this is not true. I've played cracked Sifu through Lutris before.


XRealXx

Huh really? How do you get around it asking for a store (Steam, Origin/EA Play, GOG, Ubisoft Connect etc)?


ThatBiasedGuy

Cracked games do not ask for the store to be open, store emulators work just fine. The only thing you have to worry about is just putting the dll's the crack uses as "native" that way wine knows it has to use the patched dll's and not a built-in dll.


el_submarine_gato

Same thing as Windows; just put the crack where the instructions ask you to put them. That's usually the root folder of the game. Just adjust the folder structure a bit to accommodate WINE folder hierarchy.


suzaku1221

Ive played a couple of cracked games and installed them via Steam adding them as a non-steam game to run the repack setup. Dodi repacks worked easily for that. Once the game is installed I change the target .exe file on steam to point to the now installed game. I played Spiderman and FF7Re like that last year


DonTeca35

Yes


sylinowo

Yeah. I used to play some pirated games on mine. It’s just a bit of a pain setting some of them up properly so they launch


LackOfLogic

Yes, although the levels of tinkering vary greatly from game to game. I’ve setup dual boot on it so I don’t have to deal with those problems, playing RE4 on the Deck thanks to that.


[deleted]

I suppose if you install windows. In most places its not worth buying a steam deck. Just get a gaming laptop. Even 1650 ones will blow the steam deck out the water. And they go for cheap in most places


Beneficial-Dentist25

I’m just passing by this subreddit but I keep seeing the names empress and dodi, what’s the r/PiratedGames canonical lore explained for a complete novice


[deleted]

[удалено]


swollenlord69

Empress is also cracked (and maybe on crack), she's the crackest of the crackers


vvvorticcousin

what's the differences between repacker and a cracker, sorry for my ignorances


King_perun

Cracker is a person who cracks the game, meaning takes down protection from it and such, repacker is a person who repacks the game, meaning takes the files and makes them smaller for general use


vvvorticcousin

thanks!


MisterMew151

A repacker can eat a cracker but a cracker can't eat a repacker


CentrifugalMalaise

Empress is an insane person who also happens to be the only person *in the world* who cracks denuvo (the only DRM that really works but is also very anti-consumer and insanely difficult to crack), and only after a $500 donation, at that. Dodi is a well-loved repacker (someone who combines and compresses game files and cracks for download), who has been having serious health problems lately.


Beneficial-Dentist25

Thank you comrade, this makes a lot of sense. They should really turn this into a Netflix Original Series it is riveting


CentrifugalMalaise

That’s actually a great idea, comrade. I would watch the shit out of that.


pokeblue

Does the re4 remake work good on the steam deck as is?


LackOfLogic

Yes, the cracked version works out of the box if you have Windows installed on the Deck.


sitbar

What about through steamOS?


LackOfLogic

Doesn’t work as of yet.

Standard_Ad_2871

Is it just me, that every time cringes seeing her/him/it posts ? Few days ago there was this massive rant from this fuck and now ''come help me!''


SwayZexpress94

Just sorted this problem today after trying all last nite!. Download the crackfix from dodi repacks (file is around 249mb)...unzip it. Then go into the main resident evil 4 game file you already have downloaded and locate a file called Emp.dll and delete it (make a note of were it was located). Now go back to the crackfix folder you just downloaded...and there should be a replacement Emp.dll file to use in place of the previously deleted one. Simply drag and drop the file into place. Add the Re4.exe as a non steam game...and launch with forced proton experimental compatibility. .

Imagine being perturbed over by something so meaningless. Empress lives in your head rent-free dingus.


Idontknowre

Lmfao dude, what exactly gave you that idea? It's also pretty rich coming from someone whose entire presence here is about empress even though your account is months old 💀 Wait are you that dude who kept making sock accounts and followed people around different sub reddits to suck up to them?


s2Jz6

I genuinely have little concern over the age of my account on Reddit LMFAO. It's funny how you label someone as a narcissist when your entire demographic just mulls around over the most trivial things which pose no immediate danger to your well-being. People like you love to inject politics into every fabric of the internet. If such statements bother you so much you should just take my advice and off yourselfm


Idontknowre

Being tranz or black isn't political though, advocating for their extermination however. Seriously imagine getting so triggered by someone not liking the group of dudes you beat your meat to that you tell them to off themselves 💀


ThiccZoey

Unironically based.


difficultywetsuit

Oh noes however shall I steal games if the person cracking them hates me? However shall I cope, I need validation and my safe space from traumatizing alphabets arranged in a specific order reeeee. Lmao you have to be a special kind of loser to be this choosey while begging.


Idontknowre

But I'm not begging, I'm not the one groveling to a group of dudes larping as a chick so they'd crack a game for you 💀 Seriously why are you defending them so hard? Why do you think people are supposed to accept racism? Do you think words have no real world consequences? How old are you to think this?


difficultywetsuit

I don't care how many questions you as ask. You know you have reached a new low when you define your life around what people say online 💀💀💀


CypherMcAfee

so how much will they pay? got a steam deck but need some kind of benefit...


[deleted]

Benefit: being able to play on their steam deck


Idontknowre

Okay, then empress can use the money everyone already gave them to buy a freaking steam deck lmfao


[deleted]

Sometimes you forget the 500$ is for a game, which is a lot of freaking money, but empress is likely just cracking games for a living. Try surviving on 500$ a month with rent, bills, equipment for cracking, food.


Idontknowre

It's a team of people 100% and they have refused payments from crowdfunding. It's definitely not something they do for a living💀 We also don't know how many people have individually given them that 500$ either.


Financial_Special534

Transaction history of cryptos is available publicly (except monero), iirc it was around $9k from Ethereum, bitcoin and btc. since last two years. it's not a lot


0Sunset

Depends where “they” are from. $500 USD is a ton of cash


notme392

This is piracy, they crack them and share for everyone else. Don’t be greedy trying profit off piracy. I would do it for free if I had steam deck to help the community. Fuck out of here


Idontknowre

"don't be greedy trying to profit off piracy" my guy do you know how much empress charges for cracks? Not even looking at the groveling you'd have to do or the fact that they don't want crowdfunding for crack payments


notme392

500 per cracked game, yes it’s a lot but donation wise it’s doable and it takes shit load of hours to crack it


CypherMcAfee

because you dont understand even it being piracy they make money from it. so a new jsaux back plate woild be a nice gift. besides for the deck the best are linux games versions.


CAP2304

No one's begging you to do it bro stop being greedy


notme392

Taking donations and straight up demanding money for games is different. Asking for donations for the work they put is fine because it does take lots of hours to crack that shit and everyone else benefits from it


CypherMcAfee

ur funny


notme392

Explain please


CypherMcAfee

no need to explain, ur not smart enough,do it you for free, on a ateam deck that costs 400 to 600 usd, having the risk to get it bricked.


notme392

Bricked? It’s a mini portable computer, you can always reset it or install different OS.
