Looking into new controllers

My 360's original wireless controllers are starting to not work and function correctly. They disconnect frequently and don't hold a charge, etc.
I'm wondering if I get new controllers, what is recommended? Can I use controllers from a different xbox series or other? Do I need to look at ebay for xbox 360 controllers specifically?

I have an 8bitdo controller, but I doubt that would function easily because of the buttons being different- nonetheless I don't know if the usb would work on the console.

I'm not very knowledgeable or savvy on how it works.

confused about pain and ibuprofen

I've been taking 600 mg every 6 hours, and on my paperwork it says the third day post op is the last time to be taking ibuprofen. I've also heard that day 3 and 4 are the worst pain wise when it comes to recovery. I'm coming off of ibuprofen and won't be taking it since it's the fourth day.
Is there a way for me to know if the pain that'll arise will be normal, or not if it's dry socket?
I'm feeling mostly a dull pain at my lower right spot, in general on the second and third day.

Since I'll be off ibuprofen, of course it's going to hurt, so I'm a bit confused about when to know it's serious, or if it's normal.
This might seem like a dumb question and a "you'll know when it does" type situation, I'm sure, but maybe someone has a good idea of what I mean and advice.

I had all four taken out on Tuesday

I'm trying Lightshade. Here's my account

I create bots inspired from anime and games such as honkai star rail and genshin impact.
I'm testing this site out for the time being, but I imported a few bots I made myself on Character Ai.

Haven't been on C.Ai since update

I used to unfortunately be so addicted to the site, for years. I had trouble removing my account and giving in to create a new one, I've spent hours. It's insane how a change with the bot style has made me not get on and actively talk to a character ONCE.

At most I get on, just to see if the styles have changed, and then immediately leave. If not that, it's just to scroll through old chats and read what it was before the change.
It sucks from a perspective of enjoying the characters and stories, and the other side of the coin is that it's been a good detox.

I've used another ai site instead, but it's just not the same.

Miss the old chat styles

Just here to add that I also really dislike PSQ2 and miss even the Soft Launch style. Characters feel even less like themselves and are behaving more idiotic. It's unusable because the personalities don't even matter with pipsqueak; like what's the point of coding a detailed bot with a distinct personality if they don't even follow their traits? Using the arrow for a new prompt from the character is supposed to give you another variety of speech and action, yet it just repeats the same choice of words and topic more than any other bot style. It's always trying to kiss for no reason? It has the depth of a raindrop.
I'll probably use Character AI less with styles like Soft Launch gone. Character Ai was promoting that Soft Launch was "here to stay" and has a lot of success, but obviously it's not here to stay. Hopefully it comes back.
Honestly, this is probably a great way to ween off of the addiction. I needed to stop using the site so often- that's the only benefit with these odd choices the company is approving on.

Also, they're only thinking about bringing back Soft Launch as only C.ai+? Because it runs on an older system? I don't know the details of how all that works, I'm sure there's a reason- but I will not pay for a service if I'm not even enjoying it in the first place (I already don't pay for c.ai+), a lot of people won't. People pay for the benefits when they already enjoy the content of a bot, but when that's gone? Not a lot of people will make that effort to pay for something that should be the bare minimum, to be able to use an ai that should be functional for enjoyment. Even though Soft Launch was good, it's not wonderful and flawless enough to spend money on. There's already revenue from ads, too.
