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 someone tries to make you feel bad for them by making the conversation a competition of who has the worst life.
Person 1: "damn I dropped my nachos. I hate my life"
Person 2: "oh you hate your life? At least your step mom didn't beat you as a kid."
Person 1: "dude that has nothing to do with what we were talking about. Stop tryna pity flex"
