It's honestly pretty rare, but there have been times when I feel in the zone and climb a lot all at once, then drop again when I'm playing like normal or have poor focus.

I didn't play the original Tactics Ogre, but I played a bit of the recent remake. It's very much like FF Tactics, where you move individual units around on a grid, take turns, and adjust the direction they're facing, etc.
Ogre Battle 64 is more like a full battle map with free, simultaneous movement. You traverse the battle map as sort of an overworld (?), then it switches to the autobattle combat interface when units run into each other.
They have some similarities, but I personally enjoy the Ogre Battle 64 approach more.
It means you're going the right way!
This is horrifying...
That's so much. It seems to be getting a small spike in attention these days with some recent games inspired by it (like Unicorn Overlord, or a popular indie game called Symphony of War).
I swear I'm not sandbagging, chess.com... I'm just really streaky!
It's an incredible game, but it feels like very few people were aware of it (at least in the US). The closest AAA game to it now would be Unicorn Overlord, if you've seen that.
You build squads of units and customize who's in each party and which tile they stand on, then send them out to a battle map where you can direct them. When they run into enemies, it auto-battles sort of like Fire Emblem.
I need to frame this above my desktop.
Haha, maybe... I'm not sure if anyone but me can read my cursive.
I've done it before for a few games where I want to remember to do stuff, and I know it's not for everyone, but I do find it pretty rewarding. I've never regretted having a random notepad around to jot down something that I was thinking about.
I think the first time might have been Final Fantasy 1 on NES (played on the Wii emulator, whatever year that would've been). It deepens the experience for me and makes me pay more attention to dialogue and hints in the game.
It's already funny to go back to my notes from my blind run of Elden Ring and see my thought process.
