I feel as though killing the Slime King by bouncing on him with the slime mount should be an achievement, alas it is not.  Why the hell is this update so insanely awesome?

Because it is folding in the console version into the PC version.

The top-tier gear is basically derivative-central.

Spoiler: Item spoilers (click to show/hide)

You've got:
Portal Gun
Megaman's blaster arm
Nyan Cat sword
The Stardust armor set, which grants you a Stand guardian that normally hovers over your shoulder and can be directed to fight for you.
Marisa's Hakkero + Final Spark

Uh, that's actually all I can think of. But it's enough. Solar Wings are borderline, but the trouble is in arguing about which power metal song they're referencing.

The Last Prism is amazing if you're a mage with the Mana Flower.

Well, being soloing thru pure Expert, but after killing Eye and Eater, and dying multiple times (I finally managed, good thing Eater doesn't despawn on player death as long as you have a spawn bed in the corruption) I'm not looking forward to trying to kill expert Skeletron with Molten-tier gear. I'll probably switch to normal now and overlevel/hardmode so I can kick his ass more easily.

I've been soloing expert as well, but had a lot of trouble with the brain of of cthulu - like you, the first five or so times I killed it was only because I had a bed in the crimson where I fought it. I did manage to kill it once after I set up some tracks through the crimson, let me avoid it easier. Took me several tries and some potions to finally kill the eye (since it leaves immediately if it kills you). Debating where to go next; probably loot the jungle and sky, get molten, then try skeletron a while.

For myself, playing expert is probably a Bad Idea. I never did manage to kill all the hardmode bosses last time I played, never mind the second tier hardmode bosses (plant boss and golem for example). Expecting that I'll be able to do so this time 'round on expert is wishful thinking. I'd probably have a lot easier time with it if I played with people, but multiplayer is inconvenient for me.

Honestly, the expert hardmode bosses are difficult to kill for someone who already has some very late game hardmode gear.

*waggles hand* Eeehhh... the twins have been -- they jumped my chlorophyte/possessed axe using mostly-filled-out-a-patch-or-two-ago character and managed to net a kill on me after I had dropped one of them (I'm pretty sure I could fix that with a swiftness potion and concrete runway, though. Primary problem was the buggers seem to be faster than they are in non-expert) -- but skeletron prime (kill the hands!) and the destroyer weren't that bad. The latter especially didn't have much in the way of close calls after preparing a simple platform line (lined with campfires!) and downing a few buff potions, and that was with the whole fight happening at something like 3 fps :V

Still have a handful to try out, though, but at least some of the mechanical ones are pretty easy to handle.

Seconding this.

[Sergius]

Yeah, agreed. I have actually soloed everything legit (maybe not the late game invasions) in Normal. Some required pretty cheap tricks, but doable. I'll probably need to be super-late-game to kill those hardmode bosses, at this point I just want the unique loot, so I give up on the Expert From Scratch challenge

I lost all my Cool Stuff.
A damn Pigron jumped me when I was doing my inventory on my Expert farming world.
A DAMN PIGRON
I had the Last Prism, for goodness' sake. I was just harvesting Souls of Light.

mediumcore?

[Adragis]

Yeah, in the middle of the Hallow.

Losing half the cash in your inventory > Losing random amounts of your stuff

[Adragis]

No, but I lost ALL my stuff.

[SOLDIER First]

Oh, right.
Losing half your money > dropping and most likely losing all your stuff

[Adragis]

Why are you saying that again?
