    Holy shit, the dude grew up in a place called Farmington.

    That’s the most made up sounding place name I’ve ever heard.

      It’s a exurb on the outskirts of Minneapolis. Mostly oil refineries but has a private high school with a really good hockey team.

            That’s a name I haven’t heard in a very long time.

            I met my first love in that world. We lived in the wilderness and made a humble living fishing for crabs. One day I came back from the bank and found her missing, her items in a bundle, signs of a struggle, no replies in her PM. I searched the wastes for days, taking on multiple PvPs for any info about her. Finally, giving in to my grief, I set sail for Teardrop island to begin my fishing career anew, and when I stepped off that boat: - lo - there she was, garbed in fishwife attire, macking on that wretched curr McDichel as he enticed her with promises of boats and cider.

            I haven’t logged in since.

      To be fair, all names are made up, and not just for places. But yes, Farmington is a little more simplistic than say Louisiana.
