A new adventure begins!

@squirrelbyte.bsky.social was a fantastic learning experience for me, but there was something missing about its tone and brand identity. This is why I @ricastroper.bsky.social, its solo creator and author, have built and launched @lostmanreviews.bsky.social.

We finally got a closer look at the incoming Nintendo Switch 2 release on June 5, 2025 via today's Direct. It's mostly an iterative upgrade on the current console, but it's an OLED screen shy of a home run.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is an OLED screen away from what we wanted

@teamcherry.bsky.social's #HollowKnight had been an unacceptable absence in my gaming pedigree for years. When I dove in to fix that last year, I had no idea of the scale the experience would take.

Feeling overwhelmed by the amount of games gathering dust in your library? It's time to do something about it and regain control of your time management. I set out to do just that with a little inspiration from YouTube channel Daryl Talks Games. 🎮🕹️
I’m playing a very IRL backlog simulator
Inspired by a fascinating video series by Youtuber Daryl Talks Games, I set off on a quest to finally get a grip on my ever-growing games backlog. The question is: did it change anything?

Throwing it back to the first ever article published on squirrelbytereviews.wordpress.com - after years of banging my head against Dark Souls 3's difficulty curve, I regrouped and went on an unexpected mental journey. This is how it went.
