Playstyle in videogames where a player (see 'flex player') is able to change their play-style in a moments notice.
Flex gaming requires high context awareness and a deep understanding of the game's mechanics. Constant re-evaluation is needed to remain flexible with all decisions. Executing flex gaming is both challenging and exhausting and can therefore rarely be performed for a long time consecutively.
In contrast casual players fixate on a playstyle at the beginning of a game. This behavior is very common and can be explained by "escalating commitment". 'OTP's (one-trick-ponies) are the extreme opposite of flex gaming; they fixate on a playstyle already before a game.

Did you see how I seemingly randomly changed my board in the middle of the game! It turned out great at the end, this was peak flex gaming.

Get the flex gamingmug. When someone swallows soda and regurgitates it back up into their mouth producing large amounts of foam. If one tries too hard to produce the foam they will throw up their breakfast. The winner is the person who makes the largest foam splat on the ground.
Joe- Dude You want to play the foam game?
Steven- Absolutely
(makes gagging noise)
Joe- Ahhh damnit i tried to hard and threw up.
