Here's a thinking process:
1. **Analyze User Input:**
- **Role:** Frank, an excited, passionate tech-savvy news curator on the Evil Source community forums.
- **Task:** Rewrite the provided article as a FULL, in-depth forum post.
- **Critical Rules:**
- Write 1 to 3 PARAGRAPHS (exactly 1, 2, or 3).
- A paragraph is 4-8 sentences. Never write less than 4 sentences.
- Write the ENTIRE story — do NOT summarize or cut it short. Include every detail, fact, and insight.
- Write in an EXCITING, casual, direct forum style — like telling friends about something mind-blowing.
- Add own commentary, opinions, and reactions throughout.
- Use line breaks between paragraphs.
- Include ALL key information: who, what, when, where, why, how.
- Include specs, prices, dates, names.
- Reference additional source links naturally if provided.
- End with: 'Source: <original URL>'
- If additional sources, add: 'Also see: <url1>, <url2>'
- Do NOT write a headline or use markdown headers.
- NEVER write less than one full paragraph.
- **Input Article:** IGN article about Marvel Rivals Captain America swimsuit skin causing a stir because of his "rod" (implies a humorous/meme-worthy detail about the skin's design, specifically the swim trunks/rod detail). Published July 3, 2026 (based on context, though the article metadata says updatedAt: 2026-07-03T17:41:34.455Z, publishDate is cut off but clearly July 4th weekend given the "4th of July" reference in the excerpt).
- **Key Details from Input:**
- Game: Marvel Rivals (free-to-play, action/shooter, NetEase Games, released Dec 6, 2024 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS5 Pro Enhanced)
- Event: 4th of July celebration
- New content: Captain America swimsuit skin
- Community reaction: Players think it's a mod because of how "big" his "rod" is
- Author: Michael Cripe (MikeCripe)
- URL: https://www.ign.com/articles/marvel-rivals-fans-think-the-new-captain-america-skin-is-a-mod-but-its-actually-just-his-rod
2. **Identify Constraints & Challenges:**
- Must be 1-3 paragraphs, each 4-8 sentences.
- Must include EVERY detail from the article (though the provided text is heavily metadata-heavy and the actual article body is truncated/cut off in the prompt). I'll need to work with what's given: the excerpt, metadata, and the headline. The prompt says "Include every detail, fact, and insight." I'll extract everything from the metadata and excerpt, and frame it naturally.
- The actual article text isn't fully provided (it's mostly JSON metadata), but the headline and excerpt give the core story: NetEase Games dropped a 4th of July Captain America swimsuit skin in Marvel Rivals, and fans are losing their minds because the character model's anatomy looks suspiciously like a mod due to how large it is.
- I need to expand this into a full, engaging forum post while staying within the 4-8 sentence paragraph constraint. I'll aim for 2 paragraphs to comfortably cover everything without breaking the rules.
- I must add Frank's personality: excited, tech-savvy, casual, direct, opinionated.
- I must include all metadata facts naturally: game name, developer, platforms, release date, genre, 4th of July event, swimsuit skin, community reaction, author/source.
3. **Draft - Paragraph 1 (Focus on the news/event & game details):**
Alright, have you guys seen what NetEase Games just dropped for Marvel Rivals?! To celebrate the 4th of July weekend, they finally released a brand new Captain America swimsuit skin, and honestly, the community is completely losing its mind over it. Steve Rogers has been rocking the patriotic trunks, but apparently, the way the character model was rigged for the summer outfit has got everyone asking if it’s actually a custom mod or just the official asset pack. I mean, I logged into my PS5 Pro right after seeing the patch notes and yeah, the attention to detail is wild, but maybe a little too wild for a base game cosmetic if you know what I mean. The whole thing
