What database? And how is it pwned? And less importantly, who the hell is Sandra 😂
If you have chosen a, for lack of a better term, password database provider that stores passwords in plain text, which by the way is the only scenario in which pwning such a database would be viable, then that's on you. Otherwise, trying pwn a database that stores passwords in hashed formats following a secure hashing algorithm is not viable unless you are a nation state level actor with an unlimited amount of 5090s. Even then, if such an actor targets you, you are not like to have subscribes to an online database anyway.
The same applies for the scenario where you store your passwords locally: are they in plain text? Then thank the attacker for teaching you a lesson.* If they are hashed - or even better, since they are saved on your system, encrypted - then good luck brute forcing them.
*I do not condone this behavior
Edit: I miss the 2000's because connecting with people face to face was a thing. Because of my mental illness, I'm not capable of dating online. Our cultural (d)evolution has taken that from me. Also, Pokémon was still good instead of brain dead children's slop.
everything will eventually get pwned, its just a matter of time. and there is always human error. oops, dave gave root access to his system to claude because he didnt wanna have to wait 2 more minutes to stuff his face with donuts in the break room. we social engineered the website chatbot into allowing us to gain access of accounts that arent ours, with a proxy and a few nice words.
But someone getting a well-encrypted database is going to have a helluva time decrypting it.
Which is why we say use good encryption.
the "brain dead childrens slop" is quite literally a few children that are getting brainrotted, the kids are fine
and im really sorry you have to go through that
It's only fair to be specific: in the earlier games, you had to be strategic. If you taught a TM, you used it up. If you taught an HM, it couldn't be unlearned. And while the backend of the leveling and stats system was broken, at least there weren't any obvious methods to "cheat" that weren't straight out bugs. I remember the first time I played Omega Ruby and I started to discover all this. And when I realized there was an island on which I could simply hold the joystick in one place to endlessly walk/bicycle and hatch eggs, I just quit Pokémon and never looked back. Occasionally, I do pick up my Fire Red and Soul Silver, the two last great games, if you ask me, but that's all.
