they really need to nerf this boss

I was a big hollow knight hater and I recently replayed it. I also found silksong to be the perfect difficulty.
Jokes aside, I enjoyed HK, just thought the backtracking got tedious and the endgame bosses were over the top, so I called it quits after main game 100% (and the final boss being hell). I only got Silksong to see how hard the game is before the nerfs come, and yet I loved it, I also found it perfect with a consistent 5-10 tries for most bosses from the early ones to endgame, and the true final boss only pushing it into 15-20 I think.
I went to HK in the middle of it to see if I'd change my mind, and most of it is still boring, but bosses melt like butter, including the DLC ones so far. I don't know why, I thought I started getting worse at games in recent years. Maybe going from stick to d-pad? Or Silksong prepped me for being more observant of boss tells?
