Pekyuliar moves

I want to use this thread to record new things I learn, my progress and ask you for advice and reviews.
I have been playing for almost two years now and I am about 8 kyu on ogs as Wulfenia.
I would like to start by including two of my games with my own remarks and ask your advice on them.
Game 1 is a game against a 7 kyu player. I lose by 40 points without any groups dying, so this must be due to cumulative bad decisions. I have included my own review, so I would also like feedback on my review (should I ask different kind of questions, did I overlook a whole class of mistakes?).
Identified blunders:
Move 8: White invaded too early
Move 23: Too small while the bottom is still open
Around Move 35: The influence built by attacking the white group was never properly used.
Move 37: Should have been on the third line.
Move 51: Speculative invasion did not work out
Move 88: Playing a ko without gaining any profit on it
Move 89: This move didn't threaten enough and did not protect my group enough
Game 2 is a game against a 4 kyu player. I made a mistake while blocking an invasion. And I made a worse mistake that killed off a whole corner. However, I am pretty sure that the corner-killing problem was just the end-point of a mismanaged invasion that should have gone differently.
Wulfenia (8k) against Monocle (4k)
Major identified blunders of Black:
Move 33: was simply over-optimistic blocking that did not work,
Move 75: the invasion didn't turn out well, maybe I need lighter moves, larger jumps?
Move 89: I overlooked a response that killed my corner.
PS: Uploading the attachments didn't work at all even though they were clearly indicated as uploaded with size while including the links to ogs works well.
PPS: Why does ogs claim the copyright to my game and review?
