News from Nepal. Apparently South Asia is all agog over this multiplayer ludo app, all our parents and cousins are hooked. Talked to sister, my family's been playing with each other dawn to dusk apparently, dad got bored playing with rest of the fam so he was playing with other folks. Before he looked it up online, read somewhere that it's gonna steal all your information and money, to promptly delete the app.
Everyone I've talked to in Nepal talks about ludo. Is it possible it's some kind of weird hypnosis app that convinces it's actually a game but subtly modifies your behavior. Maybe aliens are involved too. It's all so bizarre. There's a once-in-a-lifetime global pandemic going on and a billion and a half people are spending each of their living minute playing a stupid children's board game that is exactly a hundred percent a matter of chance. Maybe it's because people are so fatalistic it gives them comfort that no matter what, their fate is beyond their control, and the game helps them relax? Maybe it's a symptom of asymptomatic covid? It's really strange, has the whole world gone mad?
I wonder if that's better than watching z tv and aajtak all day long. On one hand you don't have to be in front of annoying loud stressful news all day long. On the other hand, you're addicted to a stupidly simple game on an app of questionable security practices. It's easy to judge.
