I'm pretty sure that people pirating games have little to do with the current surge micro transaction filled games. It's the opposite, the people who buy all that shit and let companies get away with it are to blame.
I've encountered a problem, not sure if it's related to the update or not. On both Eternity and browser my Subscribed feed shows posts from All. From Eternity only upvoting posts fails with a 401 code, but I seem to be able to do it on the browser. Any one else encountered some like that?
I absolutely loved Hollow Knight, it was a much needed proof to me that video games can still be fun and suck me in.
I never played any souls game before it for more than a few minutes at a friends place and in the mid game I too thought that I would not be able to finish it. But I'd say I got quite good at it by just playing the way I wanted to and exploring. Yes, I did have to leave some bosses and come back later, but it always felt doable and never unfair. Granted, I did not complete the whole 112% of the game, but that's something that I liked about it, it felt like I could do all that I wanted, felt satisfied with and leave.
Anyway, my point is, don't worry about the difficulty too much, I think the game is balanced in such a way, where there are always things to do at your skill level.
Also, if you don't feel like you are getting better at it and just getting better gear, I'd recommend starting a new temporary save and seeing how far you can get to without dying. I cannot describe how much this surprised me, how all the patterns I memorized stayed with me and how much I could do with minimal upgrades.
