It only works with the Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller. The first Xbox Elite Controller, the three generations of Xbox One controllers and the Xbox Series controller all come with a white LED only.

Back problems are âŚwell back. Couldnt even get out of bed for work today as it is to painful to fo that. Yey.

Sorry to hear about this. I also do know how much painful a hurt back can be. 
Try to use a cold or hot compress on it and take some pain relievers. Just take the day to rest and save your tasks for later.
Thatâs all I can say, really.

They do be making an Eragon series at Disney+.
Poor Dragonriders of Pern!
Eragon wouldnât exist, quite literally, if it were not for Anne McCaffreyâs amazing Pern series. Poor woman was slung around by production companies for over three decades about getting her series to film, never even got to see it happen, just to see it stuck in development hell.

I wonder whatâs best, being stuck in development hell or get made into a movie so mediocre most people plain forgot it ever existed.

Iâm a rabid fan, so being stuck in development hell is worse for me. xD

Iâm a fan who has not contracted rabies, so Iâd prefer my favourite IPs are left alone rather than butchered by studio interference or hack writers who think that adapting things means they get to do their own finger painting across an old masterwork.

You guys have a consumer view of âdevelopment hellâ I guess. My imagination went to: casting snafus then re-casting, getting different actors schedules to coincide as many are on multiple projects, sponsors falling through, or trying to muscle in on the writerâs with their own âgood ideasâ, funding in general. Then thereâs location problems: weather, terrain, sudden pandemics and lockdown. It could be so many things.
Thereâs a story right now Iâd love to see, a Season 2 with focus on secondary leads and their ship, thatâs in definite âdevelopment hellâ. By the time they sort things out, they may have to switch out actors, take out characters altogether and change the storyline (hopefully not awkwardly) and disappoint the fans heavily.
Thereâs also, the problem of shooting something like the Harry Potter series, where the actors are literally aging up as you go. Imagine co-ordinating a beast like that (and yes, the 2 part last movie was just greediness, ngl).
Itâs surely embarrassing if for some reason, you as a creator, have no final say so in the final product and itâs an awful mess, literally or in the publicâs opinion. The show based on Lookism is apparently, the fans in the comments say, a horribly butchered version of the manga. Iâve never read the Manga, so to me, it was a good script the 2 episodes in and I had no problem enjoying the show. Free on Youtube and people complaining is what I was thinking. ><
What is worse âdevelopment hellâ or shoddy production? Idk about choosing. Itâs like weaving a beautiful cloth that everyone looks at, but no one wants to make it into a dress, or suit, but then, maybe someone is willing to make it into cushion covers. blink blink
I guess itâs down to what a person can handle. Can you keep pushing and struggling to get out of development hell until it all lines up? Maybe you need that money now and sell your cloth to the upholstery, as much as it hurts. shrugs

Itâs not really working simile, but lets pretend it is. Youâre about to attend a formal function and youâve specially ordered a dress made from this lovely cloth youâve picked out and the day of youâre delivered a pillow case. Iâm pretty sure you wouldnât be greatly pleased with the result, no matter how wonderful it may be. Theyâre not fit for purpose, it isnât what you asked for. Then next day the tailor has taken out a huge ad in the newspaper about how vile a person you are for not liking the pillowcase you got. (though in most of these cases, the pillow case wasnât even a good example of a pillow case)
Yes of course weâre looking at this from a consumer stand point, thatâs what we are.
As a creator the case is obviously very different. First of all you have a choice as a creator, itâs up to you under what conditions your work will be handled. You can either straight up sell the license to a studio to do with what they please, at which point youâre not involved anymore what happens and what comes out of it is none of your business, or problem.
If you chose to award the license with strings attached that requires your involvement then again, you have the choice of to what degree. Of course a studio also has the choice on whether or not they will accept your terms, so the question becomes a tradeoff most likely between control and earnings. You demand full control over a project theyâre likely not willing to pay as much.
Anyway. Why would consumers complain? Because they love the work something was based on and the something was not what was expected or promised. âJust donât watch it thenâ well yeah, I donât, but itâs really not that simple either. Since licenses and IPs are traded and controlled a studio making hash out of your favourite IPs means no one else can try to do it justice. No one else is going to be making a better Wheel of Time TV series, because the people who got hold of the license messed it up and as a result it flopped. Now even IF they could get access to the IP itâs unlikely a publicly traded company would take a chance at it, since all they see is that it was tried and it failed. So clearly we donât like Wheel of Time TV adaptations.
So as a big Wheel of Time fan Iâm left with a shitty TV adaptation with very slim hopes of ever seeing it done properly. Yeah I donât think itâs unreasonable to be and express discontent with that.

I hang on hoping we get someone who tries to do it justice, like with Dune. Desperation. Iâve been dreaming about a movie or show for Pern since I was 7yrs old.

@Fraggles Agree with everything save the first the paragraph even from a consumer point of view. Most movies, for eg. dont outright lie and say: âThis is faithful retelling of the source materialâ and then itâs not.
Most movies have âinspired byâ or âadaptation ofâ or âbased on a novel by X-authorâ. Unless the consumer doesnât take a second to read or research, they know full well whether to expect a dress âclose to the creatorâs intention/imaginingâ or a pillow case âa derivation based on the creatorâs clothâ, pillow case being an extreme example.
The difference is: how emotional the consumer gets about the dress or the pillowcase, how upset they get.
Some of the creative decisions made for the Lord of the Rings trilogy set my teeth on edge, as Iâve read the trilogy at least twice. When I moved, that book came with me. Even so, the franchise got so many things right, Iâm not that incensed and still enjoy those films. (No, Iâm not including The Hobbit movies, btw.)
