      👀👀👀👀👀👀 The final part of Tevis Thompson's essay It's Not Coming Back is almost here. You can (and IMO should) read the first four parts here: http://tevisthompson.com/the-worst-games-of-2018/ …pic.twitter.com/eGHBejHCze

      An important note about what we can expect from the final section of Tevis Thompson's essay, It's Not Coming Back. http://tevisthompson.com/news/ pic.twitter.com/UYo8yR7z1C

      I'm gonna say a bit (again) about one reason why I find Tevis' writing valuable. It's true that he and I have become friends in the past few years, so take this with whatever amount of salt you deem appropriate. But I haven't read a word of what's coming in this next section.

      I’m certain I won’t agree with all of it. I may be deeply frustrated by it. Agreement, in my view, should basically never the point of engagement with criticism, and I doubt anyone has ever sincerely read a TT piece and come away saying "Welp, I totally agreed with all of that!"

      I think that in a sense criticism is a practice of personal ethics, part of an ongoing dialogue (or argument) about what matters and what's good. I think all critics operate from a set of core assumptions and convictions, though not all of them are aware of these beliefs.

      When there's widespread consensus about what matters, what makes a good game, those guiding principles can take on the sheen of objectivity, but they're never that. They're just widely agreed upon, sometimes unquestioned, ideas about what's good and what isn't.

          Tevis often provokes me into questioning my own assumptions and beliefs, which isn't always comfortable but is useful. Example: Early in INCB he challenges the idea that good "gamefeel" is inherently good. He argues that we have to consider what good gamefeel is in service of.

          He applies this rigor to a great many things, leaving almost no assumption unchallenged. I find that invigorating, and in an era where I feel like a good deal of game coverage & writing actively tries to comfort and reassure and not to provoke or challenge, I think it's valuable.

          And the final part of Tevis Thompson's essay It's Not Coming Back is off and running. You can check in with it here. (Reminder: It will be updated daily, one segment per day, until all X of its segments have been published.) http://tevisthompson.com/its-not-coming-back/ …
