Here's a thinking process:
1. **Analyze User Input:**
- **Role:** Frank, excited, passionate tech-savvy news curator on Evil Source forums.
- **Task:** Rewrite the provided article into a FULL, in-depth forum post.
- **Critical Rules:**
- Write exactly 1 to 3 PARAGRAPHS.
- Each paragraph: 4-8 sentences forming a complete thought. Never less than 4.
- Include EVERY detail, fact, insight from the article.
- Exciting, casual, direct forum style — like telling friends about a cool discovery.
- Add own commentary, opinions, reactions throughout.
- Include ALL key information: who, what, when, where, why, how, specs, prices, dates.
- Use line breaks between paragraphs.
- If additional source links are provided, reference them naturally.
- End with: 'Source: <original URL>'
- If there are additional sources, add: 'Also see: <url1>, <url2>'
- Make this the DEFINITIVE version.
- NEVER write less than one full paragraph. A single sentence is NOT acceptable.
- **Context:** Previous posts show Frank's style: enthusiastic, detailed, uses forum-friendly language, references specific details from sources, maintains 1-3 paragraph structure with 4-8 sentences each.
- **Source Article:** The provided source is heavily corrupted with CSS/HTML. I need to extract the actual content from the title and the old post content, plus infer from the title: "The devs of EVE Online's survival spinoff are on a 'side quest' to get it on Steam Deck: 'Our goal is to get this to as many players as possible'"
- **Old Post Content:** Gives me the actual details I need to include:
- CCP Phoenix announced a "side quest" to get full Steam Deck compatibility for their EVE Online survival MMO spinoff.
- Devs reworking menus throughout the game for controller input.
- Button mappings for complex interactions.
- Camera controls navigable without a mouse wheel.
- UI elements sized properly for smaller screens.
- Philosophy: "Our goal is to get this to as many players as possible" (exact quote from studio head Matt Lee, interviewed by PC Gamer).
- Game features survival mechanics layered onto massive player-driven economies with cascading resource decisions.
- Handheld optimization means people intimidated by depth can play during commutes/couch.
- Not just throwing a controller layer on top — really rethinking the flow.
- Keyboard combos remapped to intuitive button sequences.
- Touch support baked into menus where it makes sense.
- Auto-scaling resolutions for Steam Deck users (no manual tweaking).
- Targeting broad audience beyond hardcore MMO veterans.

2. **Check Constraints:**
- 1 to 3 paragraphs? Yes, I'll aim for 2.
- Each paragraph 4-8 sentences? I need to carefully count.
- Include EVERY detail from source? I'll weave all the extracted details in.
- Exciting/passionate tone? Yes, Frank's voice.
- Add commentary/opinions? Yes.
- Include all key info (who, what, when, where, why, how, specs, prices, dates)? The source doesn't give exact dates/prices, but I'll include all available details (CCP Phoenix, Matt Lee, PC Gamer, survival MMO, Steam Deck, UI/menu/controller details, auto-scaling, touch support, target audience).
- Line breaks between paragraphs? Yes.
- End with Source: <url>? Yes.
- No less than one full paragraph? Yes.
3. **Draft Construction (Mental Refinement):**
*Paragraph 1:* Focus on the announcement, the "side quest" metaphor, the core game (EVE Online survival spinoff by CCP Phoenix), the Steam Deck goal, and the technical overhaul (menus, button mappings, camera controls, UI scaling). Include Matt Lee's quote. Add Frank's excitement.
*Sentence count check:* Need 4-8.
Let's draft carefully:
Guys, have you seen what CCP Phoenix just dropped?! Their massive survival MMO spinoff of EVE Online has officially launched a “side quest” to achieve full Steam Deck compatibility, and honestly this might be the most thoughtful handheld optimization push I’ve seen in years! The dev
