shiveyarbles,

I feel like smoking some weed might help with the edgelord angst

sounddrill,

I’m not surprised if this came from smoking weed

well if they´re trying to get me to stop pirating and buy games even with drm in them well good job. I´d rather pay extra to avoid this stupid drama. Seriously all I wanted was some free games not seeing them showing off their hate boners for the trans community.

We get it you secretly wanna fuck trans people, you´re just too chickenshit to admit it.

“sighhhhh”

ILikeBoobies,

What drama? Some random footnotes in an .nfo file? How does it effect you at all?

doggle,

Footnotes? Lol, it’s nearly the entire .nfo!

It’s generally a good idea to check the included materials whenever you’re using any software, including cracks. If those materials are packed with several paragraphs of pointless name calling it absolutely effects the end-user

    PLEASE, CRACK A GAME AND PUT THIS ON AN NFO!

    The world needs this

    Can be something simple like steamdrm

    noctisatrae,

    It’s crazy to be talented at reverse-engineering and needing all the attention. Guys, stop fighting a second, you need to be united if you want to defeat the DRMs!

    Gush,

    What’s this?

    Had quite a great laugh reading that and the empress channel firing back. I just love sitting back and watching it all unfold. I don’t care for either group i just want the games. I could care less who does it.

    sounddrill,

    I wish I was part of it 😭

    Missing out on so much drama

    dansity,

    I’m out of the loop. Is there a tl;dr version of what has happened so far?

    MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

    There is and it’s too long.

    But basically software hacker taking money and has some weird takes on stuff. Also says they’re a girl but probably a guy apparently. Word on the street is they are the only one who can crack some type of DRM so they remain relevant for the moment

    AnarchoYeasty,

    I like how everyone is concerned about the trans slurs but completely ignores them dropping the n word. Sounds about white for the crowd here I guess

    gk99,

    Probably because

    1. The n-word is dropped in a less interesting section of the rant that could feasibly be skipped
    2. It’s not a hard R
    3. We don’t know the race of the author
    4. The t-slur comes way earlier and is seen on multiple occasions, perhaps prompting a comment prior to finishing reading.
    AnarchoYeasty,
    1. It doesn’t make it any less of a slur.
    2. You’re right we don’t know for sure. But come on, we absolutely all know what fucking race the author of this post isn’t.
    gk99,
    1. This is clear and willful culture ignorance and I implore you to give Grand Theft Auto V a casual play as a relevant, reasonably modern, and prevalent example of how this isn’t the case.
    2. I’m not in the business of pretending I know someone’s physical attributes based on some text. I’ve had multiple people throughout the years surprise me with info about who they are after literal years of “knowing” them.
    AnarchoYeasty,

    Holy fuck I know you did not just say you can say the fucking n word because of GTA. It doesn’t matter how many of your favorite rap songs say it. It doesn’t matter if your favorite video game says it. You cannot fucking say it. Jesus fuck are we letting the racists just be on these communities now? Get the fuck out of here you racist piece of shit.

    Not only is this racist but it’s lazy and unfunny too, even without the racism. Who buys discs anymore? Are you a boomer?

    Yeah you failed yourself and embarrassed everyone in the room. Prrrfww…

    Amaltheamannen,

    Idk I stopped reading and immediately assumed the rest was horseshit when I saw the t word. Didn’t even get to the n word.

    BrandoCalrissian9229,

    yeah that’s pretty crazy lmao

    GyozaPower,

    Tbf, I simply didn’t see it because I stopped reading halfway through. On the other hand, “tranny” is right at the beginning (and I think somewhere else too), and they seem to intentionally misgender Empress quite a few times, so they stick out quite a lot.

    nekomusumeninaritai,

    I would’ve appreciated a trigger warning on the post since it uses a slur, but wow, it is amusing (I’m sure it’ll be less amusing once I experience more overt transphobia).

    sounddrill,

    Ok, trigger warning

    Am I doing this right?

    redcalcium,

    I must’ve missed the original empress’ rant. Anyone know where to see that?

    Man Voksi got fucked for absolutely no reason(reddit.com/…/voksi_denies_having_any_relation_wit…), let the man live his life. Skidrow and Empress both are Idiots.

    darkkite,

    unless…

    sourcery,

    I did not have defending DRM on my bingo card. Transphobia is especially vile though.

    sounddrill,

    Defending the intent behind DRM is fine, but DRM is the worst

    uriel238,
    @uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    Nope. The problem is DRM that works is always abused. Remember the unskippable ads on DVDs and Blu-Rays? Always.

    SilentStorms,

    Jesus, everyone involved in this shit is so deranged. God I hope the “Scene” dies out with the next generation, just chill people releasing cracks without following a tome of rules and schizoposting.

    sounddrill,

    I don’t even pirate anymore, I’m just here with the popcorn

    Goodtoknow,
    @Goodtoknow@lemmy.ca avatar

    Is there some correlation with this insane low level understanding of software engineering and a mental health issues? A lot of the scene seems to be like this and good old Terry Davis (rest in peace you racist)

    AtomicPurple,

    Unironically, yes. Multiple studies dating back years have found a link between high intelligence and various mental health issues.
    There was one particular paper I read about a decade ago, where researchers surveyed a bunch of collage students to find demographic trends based on their preferred operating system. From what I recall, the demographics of Windows users were not too far off from those of the university as whole, and Mac users were similar, aside from women being significantly over-represented. Linux users on the other hand, were almost all men, and nearly every mental health issue imaginable was over-represented by a huge margin.

    I use Linux, and my wife’s head in the freezer says I’m perfectly sane.

    As a CS dude who uses Linux and is around way too many people who seem like they genuinely are in need of some therapy on a daily basis, this entirely checks out, tbh.

    I’m now mildly worried for my own mental state

    bobotron,

    It’s ok amigo, from this one comment I’ve read of yours you seem like you are just fine

    gamer,

    That’s funny, but I’m betting my nutsack that you just made that up, or it’s copy pasta.

    Hudell,

    Well there’s a million ways you can interpret that data. Apple usually makes very opinionated stuff (“this is how it works and this is how you’re going to use it”). Autistic folks tend to do have big issues with that sort of stuff, so it’s only natural they’ll gravitate to something else where they can use it whoever they feel is better.

    And women in general have been pushed away from IT for a few decades due to how they’re treated in those groups, so it’s only natural they’ll be underrepresented among Linux users.

    uriel238,

    In my experience, mental health issues are epidemic. The only question is if someone has been assessed, and then had a professional admit to them they have a diagnosis. Mind you, it’s hard to be healthy, and most people are still functional (as much as our late-state capitalist society will let them) but we noticed that mental illness was epidemic in the 1990s, likely due to major societal shifts in the industrial age: We’re used to having more of a social support system than we do. So I suspect that we’re all mad as hatters, and it’s intergenerational.

    planish,

    Nobody learns to do this stuff unless they are compelled to.

    Melody,

    I’m at least somewhat proud that Skidrow managed at least a halfway decent snapback at Empress.

    PoliticalAgitator,

    Lost interest when they couldn’t get through it without using slurs. There’s no good guys here.

    Melody,

    Not an unfair opinion to have; but at least they tried. Sadly the “Scene” is this fucked up. They don’t adhere to the same standards of behavior that we do on the clear web…mostly because they interact on IRC or other private chatrooms and kick out anyone they don’t like, or disagree with.
