i used to run a literary journal in college, so i built that dna into tale as 'lists', so that curators can be followed and they can create lists of their favorite work. i dunno if it creates a gallery type environment, but that's the dream

dark souls: in dark souls as you wander around you can leave little notes around the world, and then the game will surface them to other players, almost randomly. players can vote on notes, which makes them appear more or less often. dark souls is a famously obtuse game, so the notes are genuinely helpful sometimes, and sometimes they are trolling you. but it makes the whole experience less lonely. i wonder if that's what people are missing when they read a book: the book _club_ feeling.
