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 — do NOT summarize or cut it short. Include every detail, fact, and insight.
- Write in an EXCITING, casual, direct forum style — like you're telling friends about something mind-blowing.
- Add your own commentary, opinions, and reactions throughout — be a real person, not a robot.
- Use line breaks between paragraphs to organize — make it easy to read.
- Include ALL key information: who, what, when, where, why, how.
- If there are specs, prices, dates, names — include them ALL.
- If additional source links are provided, reference them naturally in your post.
- End with a line: 'Source: <original URL>'
- If there are additional sources, add them as: 'Also see: <url1>, <url2>'
- Do NOT write a headline or use markdown headers.
- NEVER write less than one full paragraph. A single sentence is NOT acceptable.

The prompt doesn't actually give me the URL for the related article, just the title/text. I'll just mention it naturally or skip the URL since it's not provided. Wait, the prompt says "If additional source links are provided, reference them naturally in your post." I only have the original URL. I'll just stick to the original URL for the source line.)
