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.
- **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, direct forum style — like telling friends about something mind-blowing.
- Add own commentary, opinions, reactions throughout.
- Use line breaks between paragraphs.
- Include ALL key information: who, what, when, where, why, how.
- If specs, prices, dates, names — include them ALL.
- Reference additional sources naturally if provided (none provided here).
- End with: 'Source: <original URL>'
- No headline or markdown headers.
- NEVER write less than one full paragraph.
- **Original Article:** "Lord of Hatred upgraded Diablo 4 into one of the best action RPGs out there, but its new season ignores everything that made it great" (PC Gamer)
- **Original URL:** https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/lord-of-hatred-upgraded-diablo-4-into-one-of-the-best-action-rpgs-out-there-but-its-new-season-ignores-everything-that-made-it-great/
I need to extract the actual content from the provided text. Wait, the provided text is mostly CSS/HTML boilerplate from PC Gamer, with just the title and URL. The actual article content isn't fully provided in the prompt. Let me look closely at the prompt:
"Original content: [CSS/HTML garbage] ... Lord of Hatred upgraded Diablo 4 into one of the best action RPGs out there, but its new season ignores everything that made it great"
The prompt says "Write the ENTIRE story — do NOT summarize or cut it short. Include every detail, fact, and insight." But the article text isn't actually in the prompt! I only have the title and URL.
This is a common issue with these prompts. I need to either:
a) Ask for the full article text.
b) Simulate/expand based on the title and my knowledge of the game/season, while being careful not to invent false facts.
c) Use the title to infer the core argument and write a passionate forum post about it, acknowledging the season changes.
Given the constraints, I should write a passionate, detailed forum post that captures the essence of the title and typical PC Gamer coverage of Diablo 4's "Season 7: Lord of Hatred" (or whatever the latest season is - actually, Diablo 4's recent seasons are Season of the Construct, Season of the Skull, Season of the Third Act, and Season of the Ascendant. Wait, "Lord of Hatred" might be a fan-made mod or a hypothetical/future season, or maybe it's a specific DLC/season name I'm not aware of. Actually, "Lord of Hatred" is a well-known Diablo 2: Resurrected mod. But the title says "Lord of Hatred upgraded Diablo 4 into one of the best action RPGs out there, but its new season ignores everything that made it great". This sounds like it's talking about the *Lord of Hatred* mod for Diablo 4, or maybe it's a specific season called that. Wait, Blizzard announced "Season of the Construct" and there's a "Lord of Hatred" mod that recently got a major update. Actually, there's a famous D4 mod called "Lord of Hatred" that heavily overhauls the game. The article is likely about how the mod was amazing but the new season (maybe a Blizzard official one, or a mod update) changed things.
Let me think carefully. I shouldn't invent facts. I'll focus on the title's premise: Lord of Hatred (a mod/season) transformed D4 into a top-tier ARPG, but the new season/update abandoned those core improvements. I'll write it in Frank's voice, enthusiastically discussing the impact, the mechanics that made it great (likely endgame depth, build variety, quality-of-life, perhaps the "Hatred" system or itemization), and the frustration that the new direction ignores it. I'll keep it to 2 paragraphs (within the 4-8 sentence constraint each), pack it with forum-style excitement, and explicitly note that I'm working from the provided title/article premise since the full text
