I am a spectacularly bad poster and everyone in the Schadenfreude thread hates my guts.
I bought Hollow Knight shortly after getting my Switch before summer and only played it for half an hour because I was distracted by Odyssey, Mario Kart and Zelda I also got at the same time, and I just got round to playing it again and uh, yeah, I see why you guys wouldn’t shut up about it

Well, no, but wages and cost of living vary enormously within each of the two countries so you can’t really “account for” it in any meaningful way on a national basis. My point was that USD 60 is approximately the same amount of money as CAD 80.

Galacta Knight in particular is fun because his plotline is actually going in reverse through all the games. You first encounter him at his death and the ongoing games show how he got there as he's traveling backwards in time.

They haven't fully dedicated anything going into his story but it's just a running thing going on.

In Super Star Ultra Meta Knight calls for him via NOVA and Galacta Knight comes flying down from a portal he's been sucked through. After being beaten he full on dies.

In Returns to Dreamland you find him locked up in Crystal, when he's defeated he tries to fly off and gets sucked into a portal off screen (apparently)

In Robobot Meta Knight wishes to fight the strongest warrior so he gets called again, but when he shows up he's glowing and not conscious right away, but when he's defeated he's trapped in crystal and sent off *somewhere*.

In Star Allies he gets possessed by Morpho after getting summoned from a portal and when Morpho is defeated he begins glowing and loses consciousness before vanishing.

Dude just keeps getting dragged back in time more and more until he eventually bites it v:v:v

Best part of the update is the lore descriptions in the new difficulty because some of them were updated to be goofy, while others are just kind of (spoilers) depressing.
