A Videogame called 'Luvvia'




So, I don't know if I ever talked about Tim, here, before. He is a Dutch so his cheesiness is blamed on the cheese (by him!).

He is also my husband.

Currently, we are both in self-isolation due to Covid_19.  But, he is in the Netherlands and I am in Nepal. This is not really an issue as our relationship (15 years) has been most of the time, a long-distance one.

As I mentioned he is full of cheesiness and tries different tactics to make me swoon for him. But, his tactics are little further from the trendy, mainstream expression of love and romance. Yeah, he is a nerd. He doesn't accept it, at all! But, he would like to be called as Arithmetician- the mage!


Anyway, coming to the point, yesterday he sent me a gift through dropbox. It was a video game he developed for me. So, I started the game and found two characters: a young lad and a young lady. They look very much like the ones from the oldest version of Zelda.
On a square screen, the lady is standing at the bottom of the right corner and the lad is standing on the top left corner. The background of the screen is black and Enya's 'Far and Away' plays in the background. When you move these characters towards each other, the closer they become the pinker the background colour gets. And if you move them away from each other, the background turns blacker from pinker.


If you are able to bring these characters in a particular spot, almost in the middle of the screen, the background colour is pinkest and there appears a red heart in between heads of them. Suddenly the song changes to KISS's 'I was made for loving you baby...you were made for loving me' and plays on.

This way, my long-distance romance with my partner is going on while we quarantine ourselves to keep ourselves and others safe.
