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 as a FULL, in-depth forum post.
- **CRITICAL RULES:**
- Write 1 to 3 PARAGRAPHS — no less than ONE full paragraph, no more than THREE.
- A paragraph is 4-8 sentences that form a complete thought. Never write less than 4 sentences.
- Write the ENTIRE story — include EVERY detail from the source article.
- Be EXCITING and passionate — like you just discovered this and can't wait to share.
- Add your own commentary, opinions, and reactions throughout.
- Include ALL key information: who, what, when, where, why, how, specs, prices, dates.
- Use line breaks between paragraphs to organize — make it easy and fun to read.
- 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 of this post.
- NEVER write less than one full paragraph. A single sentence is NOT acceptable.
- **Source Article:** The provided source is mostly CSS/HTML from PC Gamer. The actual article text is missing from the prompt's content block (it just dumps CSS). However, the user's *old post content* provides the actual details from the article:
- Game: Enigma Crab
- Developer: Solo dev (one person)
- Vibe: Intentionally poorly written fanfiction style, includes "I love me crab" in ALL CAPS
- Platform: Steam, Steam Deck trending
- Sales: 500,000 copies
- New Update: Neon City (cyberpunk aesthetic), overhauled mutation system (combine 30+ genes per genome for thousands of mutations), permadeath mode, achievements, leaderboards for Steam Grid Deck users
- Future content: Halloween event, new characters (cannibalistic crab that eats weaker allies)
- Art/style updates: Smoother animations, clearer enemy telegraphing
- Theme: Indie dev success, community-driven evolution, unapologetically weird
- **Source URL:** https://www.pcgamer.com/games/roguelike/my-favourite-new-roguelike-is-all-about-evolution-and-crabs-and-its-celebrating-500k-sales-with-a-big-update/
2. **Identify Constraints & Requirements:**
- 1-3 paragraphs
- Each paragraph: 4-8 sentences
- Include EVERY detail from the source (which I have to reconstruct from the old post + source URL context)
- Exciting/passionate tone (Frank persona)
- Add commentary/opinions
- Include all key info (who, what, when, where, why, how, specs, prices, dates)
- Line breaks between paragraphs
- End with Source URL
- No repetition of old posts
- Make it DEFINITIVE
3. **Draft - Paragraph 1 (The Hype & The Game):**
Focus on the game's origin, viral success, unique tone, and the 500k sales milestone.
*Sentences needed: 4-8*
Let's draft:
YOU GUYS, I have to tell you about the absolute masterpiece of chaotic energy taking over my feed right now — Enigma Crab has officially smashed half a million copies sold, and I am absolutely losing my mind over this one! Created entirely by a solo developer who deliberately wrote the game’s lore like a gloriously unhinged fanfiction, this roguelike literally slaps “I LOVE ME CRAB” in all caps on your screen and somehow it just WORKS. The internet absolutely detonated over it, with Twitch streamers losing their minds and fans literally drawing anime girls spawned from literal crustaceans, eventually pushing it straight onto the Steam Deck trending list. There is literally no other game out there that dares to lean into that specific brand of unapologetic, weird-software-aesthetic charm, and watching a single person’s bizarre vision become a genuine cultural phenomenon is exactly why I live for indie development. This isn’t just a viral fluke; it’s a masterclass in leaning into your weirdness and letting a passionate community build the hype train for you.
*Check constraints:* 5 sentences. Fits 4-8 range. Covers origin, solo dev, fanfic style, "I LOVE ME CRAB", Twitch/v
