dick move

"Magnus withdrawing from the Sinquefield Cup is the definition of a dick move", says Ben Finegold during a casual stream.
Context:
Magnus Carlsen is the best chess player in the world. After losing a match against a significantly lesser player, Hans Niemann, Magnus withdrew from the tournament. Middle school drama ensued as people began to speculate that Magnus was implicitly calling Hans a cheater.
It's a dick move to withdraw from the cup like that; it's basically unheard of since Bobby Fischer.

player sexual

When an NPC is sexually attracted to the player character regardless of the PC's identity.
Wait, you can also hook up with Jess when you play as a girl?
Yeah, she's player sexual; all the characters you can have a relationship with in this game are.

Some gamers dislike player sexual characters because it makes them less interesting, but others welcome it because it offers more freedom.
