Lmao what the actual fuck is this?
@gravitas_deficiency an insane narcissists fantasy world that people keep feeding into. End of thread.
More specifically: how is this relevant to piracy…?
Edit: also why the @ mention when it’s clearly me you’re replying to? Or is this how cross-platform fediverse content (lemmy <-> mastodon) works?
Empress is the only person that cracked denuvo games, and recently they've decided to stop cracking them and become a cult leader.
Holy shit, I thought this was supposed to be a list of cult warning signs in increasing escalation and was like this makes no sense. I didn't realize this was actually rules for their cult. WTF.
I see. Of all the choices they could have made… that’s one of them, I guess…
@gravitas_deficiency I'm using mastadon over lemmy. Sorry. It's a new thing. This person in particular was basically shaking the community down for crypto donations and when they weren't getting what they wanted they decided to stop doing it and now they've resorted to a demigod complex I guess?
Cool to learn a bit how Lemmy via Mastodon behaves. I accidentally subscribed to a Lemmy community via my Mastodon account, but I just ended up unsubscribing and resubscribing via my Lemmy account.
No worries! I was mostly just curious - I had seen that comment pattern recently once or twice, and that was the best explanation I was able to hypothesize, which I guess was accurate-ish.
The rest of the dynamic seems… Eesh.
yes mastodon clients automatically inject those username references ('@')
@gravitas_deficiency it's a denuvo crackers private cult page filled with smooth-brained idiots who feed into their malignant narcissism. They were a member of CODEX, only person who cracks denuvo games properly at the moment. Led to their narcissist behavior. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I wouldn’t really call that “absolute power”, but it is definitely super weird, and somewhat comical to come across out of the blue.
@gravitas_deficiency the last 6 years has been the right wing community seething with anger and resentment. Were seeing a resurgence of strong-arm politics and a return of a cold war. Hard times are ahead my friend. This is a crazy time to be alive.
I mean, in the broad sense of “what’s going on in the world”, I don’t disagree, but how’s that relevant to this piracy community drama…?
@gravitas_deficiency if you read the original post, there's a bunch of stuff relating to anti-lgbt comments, which in light of the recent controversy over the anti rainbow flag protests in the USA and abroad, it is relevant. It's coming into the piracy community now, and I guess the point of this post was to make a decision as a community to continue endorsing this person, or conscientiously stop associating with them. Sorry if I wasnt clear. I will never use EMPRESS releases personally
Fair. I was just chalking it up to that person apparently being a wingnut psycho.
But regarding “it’s coming into the piracy community”: uh… I’m pretty sure I remember a lot of super weird shit being somewhat common in the piracy community even a decade or two ago. There was always a lot of crossover between piracy communities and the darker parts of the web (e.g. 4chan).
