She's had a cult for a while but I have only heard of it, never seen the advertisement til now. Is empress seriously running a discord cult? More importantly, are people seriously retarded enough to pay $1000 to join a fucking discord cult?

simps are. would anyone join if empress was a middle aged balding slavic man as opposed to a mysterious sexy 23 year old girl? this whole empress facade was just for simpbux and nothing else.

If Tate can get people to join his, a woman (true or not) surely can get some thirsty simps.

So apparently 02/03/2001 is her birthday, I don't have Telegram so I can't verify. This is from the same 4chan thread, archived.

And she made a character in Nioh that is supposed to look like her:

Minus, the scars, apparently.

Exaggerated heterochromia? This is Chris-tier autism now.

Oh, also my anonymity is super important but here's a sketch of exactly how I look like with all my uniquely identifying features.

Must've been exposed to some gnarly Soviet era chemicals to get orange/grey heterochromia too.

It's really David Bowie, duh.

 

[Moldy Fleshlight]

What if Empress really thinks she/he/it/they are their Nioh waifu?

 

[Carpenter Trout]

I die a little every time I hear a zoomer call it "keygen music".

It is after all what is has been used for since the 2000s.

how I look like with all my uniquely identifying features.

that is implying that he didn't just made some OC and uses it to pretend it is him, it wouldn't be the first.

If empress is really female, she is definitely schizo. And all schizophrenic bitches I ever fucked had hairy cunts. I mean hair going all the way back and across the asscrack. That shit is no bueno.

At least the voices in their heads do all the hard lifting with their dirty talk, saves you the effort.

At first I was gonna say this is some man's domme goth gf persona and if she was a girl how can an established cracker lack the OPSEC knowledge to post a look alike online but let's be fucking honestly here, everyone makes their rpg selves look beautiful as fuck. This character shouldn't be used as a metric to determine if she's actually a woman or not because a man RPing as a woman or a woman playing as herself would both give the character conventionally attractive features and weird visual traits.

If she's a woman I don't think she had a traditional nerdy girl or schizo upbringing. I'm willing to wager that she had a normal life but then something made her housebound, chose software cracking to pass the time as she literally had nothing to do, got good, and the warez community is one of her only ways of getting human interaction outside of close family. It's like she didn't learn that announcing you're a woman on the internet brings you burdensome attention.
I had more to say but there's no point because the simplest explanation is that this is a guy pretending to be a girl and using the identity to gain social standing. Many such cases has happened before and unfortunately this is just a reality of the internet.

She does remind me about the early female invaders of the „good old internet“, before social media, when you’d have needed to be insane to enter your real name anywhere, let alone upload a photo. Those always said shit like as a girl as well.

My bet is on a mid-thirties mentally ill NEET (male).

 

[Takeru]

I die a little every time I hear a zoomer call it "keygen music".

I've always known it as "cracktro music", from the large number of pirated Commodore 64 games that my stepdad had, when I was a child...

It was common for pirate groups to add long-ass animations onto a game disk, that you'd have to sit and watch, before you could play your ill-gotten warez.

I liked when they just threw in a demo with the crack as a separate file. A lot of these guys were really creative with demos that exploited the best your video card could do. I'm pretty sure there are legit game designers who started out with some crack team.

Persona 5 Royal is never going to get cracked is it?

Famed crack, warez and cyber crime group Fairlight had a euphonious demo/cracktro group where one of the guys ended up as the lead software engineer in DICE via Digital Illusions. Many such stories.
