This may be the most ironic tychpo in a while.
It's pretty foul.
I just finished Artemis yesterday.
It was no literary masterpiece or anything, but I liked the book. It was an easy read, but it was enjoyable. What's the issue people had with it?
(It's only amusing because I do a fairly decent impersonation of Gollum. It's funnier in person, trust me.)
Reminds me of evil within 2 where it explains a slide projector to you because 90% of the audience probably never saw one in person before.
The Amazon rating looks more "unremarkable" than "terrible". It has a 4.0 with almost no 1-stars. The star totals being 45/23/17/12/3.
In comparison, The Martian has: 75/18/4/2/1.
I'm thinking Tycho is drinking beer, and Gabe is drinking a root beer float. The color is different, and Tycho's has a white foam on top. And root beer seems more of a Gabe drink anyway.
Man, this confused me so much, since Mike must have done one of his rare corrections. I didn't notice the tychpo in YOUR post (thought it was the same as what was in the comic), then couldn't figure out how that was wrong and spent a few minutes finding that a lot of people on the internet isn't sure if it should be "was" or "were".
It wasn't until I was prepared to come back and ask why it was wrong that I finally noticed the original.
tl;dr: I have a cool story, bro.
Edit: And now I glance at the comic again, and the tychpo was actually there all along. What a perfect fit for this day.
A lot of it may just be disappointment of expectations after The Martian.
Man, growing up my dad had an extensive collection of slides and we would periodically all sit in the living room and watch slideshows. It would probably kill him to hear this (he's an avid railfan and has a massive amount of trainspotting slides), but the only ones I really remember are the collection from when my parents lived in Rio De Janeiro for several years*.
