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.

when friends living in the tropics flex by casually eating fresh tropical fruits that are egregiously priced in the west (such as high quality mangoes) while videoconferencing and visibly expressing the satisfaction and joy, sometimes even talking about the quality and varietals of the fruit
friend 1: sends a photo of two mason jar full of mango juice, fresh green coconut, tagged "breakfast in bed"
friend 2: there you go again. back with your mango flex, huh?
friend 3: hmm. maybe we should terminate friend 1?
