I doubt anybody here is at all interested in my ordeal, but I changed some settings and was able to prevent the offensive image from showing up again. However, it's concerning to know that apparently Google believes it was something I wanted to see, as viewing things of that nature is genuinely traumatic for me (I had bit of a cry and feel somewhat better, though). Are there any precautionary measures I can take for the future, or is it all a little pointless when frequently browsing a website founded upon cataloguing horrible things?

I did, but it feels like a temporary fix as I'm not sure what Google considers to be objectionable content. I may just have to live with it.

Google safe search actually filters stuff even when it's off, and that's good enough for most folks most of the time. You're definitely safe with it on.

I think the true answer is there's a ton of horrible poo poo on the internet and just by browsing you open yourself up to a small chance of seeing something you don't want to see. As with real life, you can't always be 100% protected from such things.

I feel like we can only answer this with a discussion lasting several pages and ending with people yelling at each other on what a chat thread is.

But anyway, What new games are people playing this week?

People somehow manage to do it all the time even with no set discussion so I'm going with yes.

Acceptable thread topics are driven by a loose consensus created when individual posters choose to engage with a topic, choose not to engage with a topic, or choose to express discontent with the topic. A derail is just a tangent the consensus determines to be undesirable.

Miyazaki is a tangent, Kill la Kill is a derail.

The Destiny 2 beta probably won't occupy the whole week so looking forward to playing Superhot in VR.

I was going to grab Splatwoon to play on a trip but realized I'd be missing the internet and really wouldn't get to play the main draw of that game without it. Also Mario X-com comes out round the time i come back so i'll probably get that.

I'm mostly still playing PUBG. I cracked 100 hours the other day, and have no doubt I'll be well over 200 by the time I get tired of it.

Also still working my way through the Crash Nsane Trilogy. I finished getting all the gems in Crash 2 last night so I'll probably take a little break before moving onto Crash 3 and doing the same thing.

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
I'm slowly getting burned out on Mad Max and The Division and will probably give up on or take a break from at least one of them

Ocasionally getting my rear end kicked on Titanfall 2 multi

When the stars align, I coop Grim Dawn with a buddy - mostly he carrying me around while I blast critters with dual revolvers

Trying to gather the resolve to finish both Bayonetta and Vanquish - Bayo because it's very demanding and Vanquish because I just don't enjoy it very much but I'm near the end(I think?) so now I gotta go all the way

My apologies! I'll try to keep personal anecdotes to myself from now on, or find a more appropriate place to share them.

For the record, The Castle of Cagliostro looks amazing. I'm just annoyed with myself for not simply typing out the title of the show in full.

Considering I and others were talking about how to name american akira you don't have to apologize.
