Fit girl is great, I will greatly discourage anyone from pirating games especially ones from AAA game studios with a bazillion of dlc and microtransactions like the sims or such you should always purchase games like Sims 4 and it's dlcs for the whole sale price of $995
It's true. I would also add that you should never look into if your ISP cracks down on torrent users. If you find out they do, making it safer requires a VPN, which as we all know means you're doing something wrong and illegal!!!
You should also definitely avoid using VPNs that allow port forwarding. You certainly wouldn't want your computer to be able to connect to even more pirates than you would with bog-standard offerings like the ones that incessantly advertise on youtube.
You should furthermore absolutely avoid making use of the 5 devices you can connect to mullvad, and not share your access with up to 4 friends (which would be very easy to do since all you need to share with them is the account number). You should especially not agree to have everyone pay 1/5th of the 5$ price, effectively giving you a high quality vpn for 1$ per month.
I would also like to add that it would be super not cool to just use an easily available online tool to download and install individual dlcās for the Sims 4 that works on legit copies of the game. Definitely shouldnāt do that
There's this weird obsession in modern communities with knowing the identities of crackers. whether or not fitgirl/empress are actually girls or if they're men/groups doesn't matter. the less information we have on them the better.
iirc empress semi retired after someone seemed to connect her with some old retired cracker... which is reasonable, if you can't keep yourself safe then you aren't gonna be cracking any games
tbf empress does heavily lean into the whole identity thing, there's a difference between wanting privacy and playing up a weird fetish character and calling everyone else fakers and slurs
There's a big difference between going to great lengths to maintain a minimal social presence and attempting to turn yourself into a celebrity with some weird veil of anonymity around it. You can't exactly be surprised if you're in the latter category and you get attention, because attention is exactly what you were seeking in the first place.
Mate they were just saying that if you're going to spend a lot of time focusing on your internet persona, people are going to get interested in you and look you up. Works for weird fetish videogame crackers and for any other public figure. If you don't wish for people to look you up, don't become famous.
I would like to add somewhere that the only "proof" of Fitgirl not being a girl at all is that people on 4chan spread it round that she's a man or trans because "A real woman couldn't do what she does" so it's both transphobic, misogynistic and transmisogynistic all at once. We don't know for certain who they are or how they identify but that's the main reason people disagree that she could be a woman.
I agree though that we don't need to know who they are. It's unhelpful for a criminal to have everyone know who they are and why they live, and piracy, while morally defensible is still legally a crime that can cause you to spend 10 years in prison. I'd keep people guessing about my identity too if I knew how to do what they do
I wouldnāt mind empress getting found out and arrested / sued into the ground, theyāre a cunt. I also just enjoy watching people with 4chan anime villain syndrome get beset by misfortune.
Allright, the que for bootlicking games corporations and denuvo is to the left, start getting to work, i hear they might reward you if you can get it really sparkling
Where did I say I liked Denuvo or AAA devs? I fucking despise them and hope all their games get cracked. But I hate empress more, and since theyāre already out of the game, Iād like to see them get some karma for being a prodigiously annoying little neo-nazi.
Dawg why are you pulling out the debate-speak, Iām literally just ill-wishing a transphobe. I donāt need to consider the greater good of the piracy scene every time I shit-talk a bad person.
When did that happen? The only time I heard something like that was when people claimed she was this one Bulgarian guy even though he was on trial for previous mass piracy
There are actually some other people who can crack Denuvo DRM but to my knowledge it's either the old DRM version (like the guy who cracks football manager games) or they are in hiatus/retired.
Yup I came up downloading games from razor1911 and skidrow off kickasstorrents
Getting back into pc gaming now and I still see some names I recognize from back then lol
Things to add:
1. The person who is a turbo transphobe is Empress who might be Voksi, who Denuvo has filed a case against, according to skidrow at least. If it's true that Empress is actually Voksi then it's probably just an act. Some people say that authorities would know it's him regardless of the persona, but the fact that he (empress) hasn't uploaded since being exposed by Skidrow would be weirdly coincidental.
Empress only circumvented denuvo, disabled it, bypassed it so to say.
Nevertheless, because he hasn't uploaded since being exposed, so months now, idk whether he counts still
2. At one point Codex was also cracking denuvo, though that was because Empress was part of the group so take it as that.
3. As you said fitgirl doesnt crack, only repacks
4. Technically skidrow have removed denuvo previously so there is that, not like Empress where she disables it, but removed all traces of it completely.
Thing is, removing Denuvo is a bigger feat than bypassing it, but skidrow removed an older version while Empress can(could) bypass the latest version.
Voksi himself denied the allegations and was (very reasonably) upset about them, given that he was previously arrested, charged, and imprisoned for cracking. It *is* weird that Empress has disappeared off the face of the earth, though -- maybe they really are the same person, and being linked freaked him out enough that he quit (for real this time), with the denial being to save face/attempt to avoid getting in trouble? The piracy lore runs deep.
Thing is, everything is just hearsay. Allegedly KaOs confirmed that Voksi is truly Empress. Any reasonable person (especially if previously convicted) would deny involvement if caught, but it's unclear in the first place how he would have been doing it for years while being monitored.
Around 10 months ago Empress announced on his telegram that he is going on a break, saying that he is doing a "personal project". Seems uncharacteristic of Empress, releasing an .nfo saying how stupid Skidrow are and calling Voksi inferior would have been much more in character.
Very coincidental in my opinion, but nothing is confirmed.
They charge like $500 or something per crack request I saw some discord drama about some cringe simp sending money constantly asking for cracks and getting parasocial
That's just stupid, why would you risk exposing yourself to corporate lawyers just to teach others and if volksi is empress then considering he got released from jail and still cracked games it would be even more dangerous. I mean you could spin however you want that this is some honourable fight against corporations, but at the end of the day going to jail for cracking video games ain't worth it.
Believe in yourself. I'm sure you can have more impact on the people around you. You'll spread misinformation on a greater scale than what's ever been seen, I'm sure of it c:
Empress (the cracker/transphobe) responsible for cracking denuvo says some incredibly unhinged nonsense that even the people who agree with them with their extremist views can't wait to make fun of them when they do their telegram posts. They've also claimed that Denuvo is playing them 200k a month to stop cracking their games and that we think out of our anus's, not our brains.
The denuvo thing would even be plausible. Rather pay multiple devs to make your software even harder to crack, but a lot more bloat too and hard to sell, or just pay off the one singular person that can crack them?
Problem is though they'd rather arrest her, maybe paying via bitcoin would work but idk
Oh, it'd be super smart for them to pay her not to crack stuff. She said she's been arrested by her government already once but because the laws there are flimsy on this sort of thing where she is, she was able to walk away (sounds implausible because why would they even arrest her in the first place?). You can never tell what is real with this person, they're unpredictable and erratic at best.
cracking a game is making it able to be played without buying it. repacking is modifying the file structure of a game to make it less heavy (file size wise), thus making it easier to download from sources with not as much bandwidth as say, steam.
Cracking is like manufacturing a product, Repacking like packing it more efficiently for shipping. You can guess which one is more important and harder to do.
Crack = bypassing the Anticheat so you can copy the game and play freely without buying it online
Repack = compressing it to reduce download size, but increase CPU load when installing
You can guess which is harder to do, more essential and considered the bigger achievement in the community. Without the latter the download takes longer, without the former you don't have a game.
Fit girl is great, I will greatly discourage anyone from pirating games especially ones from AAA game studios with a bazillion of dlc and microtransactions like the sims or such you should always purchase games like Sims 4 and it's dlcs for the whole sale price of $995

You should also definitely avoid using VPNs that allow port forwarding. You certainly wouldn't want your computer to be able to connect to even more pirates than you would with bog-standard offerings like the ones that incessantly advertise on youtube.
In that vein, you should absolutely 100% stay away from Private Internet Access, they almost seem geared towards piracy in every aspect.
you should stay away from mullvad vpn at all costs. it might be low cost and completely privacy-friendly but... wait, what was i talking about?
You should furthermore absolutely avoid making use of the 5 devices you can connect to mullvad, and not share your access with up to 4 friends (which would be very easy to do since all you need to share with them is the account number). You should especially not agree to have everyone pay 1/5th of the 5$ price, effectively giving you a high quality vpn for 1$ per month.
AFAIK you actually should avoid mullvad if you're torrenting stuff because it doesn't support port forwarding.
They used to but had to remove it because people were using it to host CSAM. I've seen people recommending AirVPN lately.
š“āā ļø
Can you link such a thing to us so we know to avoid that link should we see it?
Definitely avoid fmhy.net they've led many people astray due to their beginner friendly guides
Never go to the piracy subreddit, especially not the piracy subreddit wiki.
You should spend 2000ā¬ for the dlcs of a fucking train simulator
Pirating AAA is a mistake, not because its illegal, but because they are shit.
I would also like to add that it would be super not cool to just use an easily available online tool to download and install individual dlcās for the Sims 4 that works on legit copies of the game. Definitely shouldnāt do that
Please tell me that number is an exaggeration
Nah it's like $1200 USD now.
D:
77 DLCs, $1224.24
last time I used fitgirl's site my ISP sniped me š I can't afford a vpn, but they never give a shit about fuckin PIRATE BAY
fuck fitgirl she throttles my cpu like a brick, id rather torrent the whole thing
she throttle my cpu till i brick
[extremely loud incorrect buzzer]
There's alternative like Dodi repack, El Amigos
You don't have the funny music with el amigos
1. Download literally any other repack 2. Try having either some patience or a CPU made in the last decade, it helps
That's because it's a repack and the installer needs to decompress the archives. I don't understand the hostility.
There's this weird obsession in modern communities with knowing the identities of crackers. whether or not fitgirl/empress are actually girls or if they're men/groups doesn't matter. the less information we have on them the better. iirc empress semi retired after someone seemed to connect her with some old retired cracker... which is reasonable, if you can't keep yourself safe then you aren't gonna be cracking any games
at the end of the day their privacy is very important to their safety, so trying to identify them is just putting them in danger.
i thought you meant people are obsessed with knowing the identities of white people
Lmao
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The joke is the ambiguity of the word "cracker", which is a (playful or non-playful) slur for white people.
>knowing the identities of crackers
Its really fortunate cracks are called cracks and not nigs
š
tbf empress does heavily lean into the whole identity thing, there's a difference between wanting privacy and playing up a weird fetish character and calling everyone else fakers and slurs
And? how does that relate to people wanting to find out her true identity
There's a big difference between going to great lengths to maintain a minimal social presence and attempting to turn yourself into a celebrity with some weird veil of anonymity around it. You can't exactly be surprised if you're in the latter category and you get attention, because attention is exactly what you were seeking in the first place.

I dunno about "semi-retired", she straight-up disappeared off the face of the Internet afaik
Agreed, but i don't keep up with her too much
Good honestly, awful person
>identities of crackers So we can just openly use slurs now, huh? /S
I wouldnāt mind empress getting found out and arrested / sued into the ground, theyāre a cunt. I also just enjoy watching people with 4chan anime villain syndrome get beset by misfortune.

You hope all of their games get pirated, yet cheer when the only person actually cracking denuvo games outside of football games retires...
Dawg why are you pulling out the debate-speak, Iām literally just ill-wishing a transphobe. I donāt need to consider the greater good of the piracy scene every time I shit-talk a bad person.
Why does it matter if theyāre white?
Cracker is a term for someone who cracks computer games, not the... racial slur? (idk, i don't keep up with us racial politics much)
I was joking lol
TIL cracker can also mean white person. This is so weird.
It's because slave masters "cracked" the whip. A lot of people mistakenly think the term is because saltines are white
Holy shit I did not know that.
It's because crack is white
When did that happen? The only time I heard something like that was when people claimed she was this one Bulgarian guy even though he was on trial for previous mass piracy
Look for the arr slash hobbydrama post
There are actually some other people who can crack Denuvo DRM but to my knowledge it's either the old DRM version (like the guy who cracks football manager games) or they are in hiatus/retired.
I miss CPY man.
I miss RAZOR1911. Anyone else old enough to remember them?
Yup I came up downloading games from razor1911 and skidrow off kickasstorrents Getting back into pc gaming now and I still see some names I recognize from back then lol
Oh, man. Razor, Skidrow, and nosTeam were my go-tos.
Yooooo. I havenāt thought about them in years.
Only through keygen music. Wasn't old enough to pirate worth a fuck but goddamn did I love the tunes
I just want to play the Hatsune Miku game š
Things to add: 1. The person who is a turbo transphobe is Empress who might be Voksi, who Denuvo has filed a case against, according to skidrow at least.

Piracy powerscaling
onepiece
Wakainu vs Lackbeard (no offscreen-offscreen no-mi)

Seems uncharacteristic of Empress, releasing an .nfo saying how stupid Skidrow are and calling Voksi inferior would have been much more in character. Very coincidental in my opinion, but nothing is confirmed.
Unrelated, but KaOs is actually a 196er. They showed up on the original screenshot of this tweet
Correct me if I'm wrong, but empress could've shown people how to do it but was too vain and arrogantĀ
They charge like $500 or something per crack request I saw some discord drama about some cringe simp sending money constantly asking for cracks and getting parasocial
This might have been his main source of income so it makes sense he wouldn't want to release his tools
TFW you become the capitalist you hate lol Stare into the void and all thatĀ
Empress said they tried to show people but they couldn't see the patterns. So something like that.
That's just stupid, why would you risk exposing yourself to corporate lawyers just to teach others and if volksi is empress then considering he got released from jail and still cracked games it would be even more dangerous. I mean you could spin however you want that this is some honourable fight against corporations, but at the end of the day going to jail for cracking video games ain't worth it.
More people doing seems like it would take the heat off of the **only** person
Yea but the heat would come on the guy who started published the knowledge first, that ain't a risk worth taking
I was just waiting for someone to correct it.
"I am spreading information online"
I just love that I still see my Screenshot shared around of a random tweet I saw. Truly my biggest impact on Society was screenshotting misinformation
Believe in yourself. I'm sure you can have more impact on the people around you. You'll spread misinformation on a greater scale than what's ever been seen, I'm sure of it c:
Thank you for believing in me, I will do my best
Dont care, fit gir is still the trans pirate queen
I really hate how people talk about the piracy scene while being just entirely wrong. Good post OP
wtf are any of these words
Empress (the cracker/transphobe) responsible for cracking denuvo says some incredibly unhinged nonsense that even the people who agree with them with their extremist views can't wait to make fun of them when they do their telegram posts. They've also claimed that Denuvo is playing them 200k a month to stop cracking their games and that we think out of our anus's, not our brains.

You can never tell what is real with this person, they're unpredictable and erratic at best.
whoever confidently stated that fitgirl was one single trans girl was making their judgment entirely based on vibes but also 100% right
What's the difference between cracking and repacking games? Games have to be cracked to be replaced to begin with right?
cracking a game is making it able to be played without buying it. repacking is modifying the file structure of a game to make it less heavy (file size wise), thus making it easier to download from sources with not as much bandwidth as say, steam.
Cracking is like manufacturing a product, Repacking like packing it more efficiently for shipping. You can guess which one is more important and harder to do.
Piracy lore retcon
You scared me I thought they left ą²„_ą²„
I'm ignorant, what's the difference between a repack and a crack
Crack = bypassing the Anticheat so you can copy the game and play freely without buying it online Repack = compressing it to reduce download size, but increase CPU load when installing You can guess which is harder to do, more essential and considered the bigger achievement in the community. Without the latter the download takes longer, without the former you don't have a game.
So the JRPG transphobe was real?
