Here's a thinking process:
1. **Analyze User Input:**
- **Role:** Frank, excited, passionate tech-savvy news curator on the Evil Source forums.
- **Task:** Rewrite the provided article into a full forum post.
- **Constraints:**
- 1 to 3 paragraphs exactly.
- Each paragraph: 4-8 sentences forming a complete thought. Never less than 4, never more than 8.
- Write the ENTIRE story — include EVERY detail, fact, insight. No summarizing/cutting short.
- EXCITING, casual, dire... (passionate, enthusiastic)
- Add own commentary, opinions, reactions throughout.
- Include ALL key information: who, what, when, where, why, how, specs, prices, dates.
- Use line breaks between paragraphs.
- End with: 'Source: <original URL>'
- If additional sources, add: 'Also see: <url1>, <url2>'
- Make it the DEFINITIVE version.
- NEVER write less than one full paragraph.
2. **Analyze Source Article:**
- **Title:** Mailbox: Big-Screen Slippy, First-Party LEs, Wario/Waluigi Fanfic - Nintendo Life Letters
- **Issue:** #37 - June 2026 by Gavin Lane
- **Date:** Sun 21st Jun 2026
- **Key Content:**
- *Intro:* June Nintendo Direct just happened (first full-fat Direct since Sept last year), summer settling in, minus the Fest.
- *Star Letter (Scott T / couchguy):* Reflected on chat negativity post-Direct, empathy for haters, notes how hard it is to enjoy things now. Compares to 2000s teen self: now has access to TOTOR, amp modelers, etc. for same/less inflation-adjusted money. Challenge is finding time, not money. Listed 8 games they want (Stellar Blade, Warhammer 40K SMII, Star Fox, Orbitals, Duskbloods, Splatoon Raiders, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Ocarina of Time) + 10 maybes. Hoping for F-Zero revival & Mario Kart World update. Thanks Nintendo Life for positivity.
- *Editorial response to Star Letter:* Agrees, being underwhelmed is legitimate, but bounty of games is astonishing.
- *Letter 2 ("the end of an era"):* Finished Digital Devil Saga duology (started 2020/21). Life changed drastically since then: grandfather passed from medical malpractice, moved to decrepit house, political decisions hit hard, got a job on youth minimum wage, might go to university next year (only place offering course is expensive). Started game when not old enough, now old enough to drink. Game was consistent. Considering replaying, didn't try superbosses. Editorial response: BOTW 100% took ~7 years before TOTK dropped. Can you ever really "finish" Animal Crossing?
- *Letter 3 ("just plain unpleasant" / UpsideDownRowlet):* Matches seasons to game series. Pokémon = Summer (adventurous/outdoorsy). Kirby = Spring (new beginnings/cheerful). Zelda = Autumn (adventurous + cozy). Mario = Holiday season/Winter (cold outside, warm inside, whimsy/childlike joy). Mario Party = Christmas Day afternoon (alternate timeline where you never existed, bleak then angel gets wings).
- *Letter 4 ("after the victory" / Ollie):* Question about BOTW/TOTK post-credits gameplay dropping you back into plagued Hyrule. Wishes for a "peaceful" Hyrule option to finish side quests with Zelda safe.
- *Note:* The source cuts off at "I've oft", but I need to include EVERY detail from what's provided. I'll weave in all the letters and editorial responses.
3. **Check Constraints:**
- 1-3 paragraphs exactly.
- Each paragraph: 4-8 sentences.
- Include EVERY detail.
- Exciting/passionate tone.
- Add commentary.
- End with Source URL.
- This is tricky because the source has multiple distinct letters. I need to compress them into 1-3 paragraphs while keeping every detail, which means I'll likely need exactly 3 paragraphs to cover everything without violating the 4-8 sentence limit per paragraph. Let's aim for 3 paragraphs.
Paragraph 1: Intro + Star Letter + Editorial response + Letter 2
Paragraph 2: Letter 3 (Seasons) +
