The Ice Climbers Dilemma

The Ice Climbers Dilemma refers to the creation of the characters the Ice Climbers in super smash brothers, the dilemma refers to (when designing the characters) whether or not to allow them to both grab separately and weather or not to give them the ability to easily desync during a grab. In the first two games that the characters appeared in, they were able to do such actions, however, is the newest entry of the game (super smash brothers ultimate) only the main climber can grab, and to desync them you must use very complex combos that are not as effective as they were in the older games. The reason that it is a dilemma is that despite the older versions being more interesting they were also game-breaking.

The Ice Climbers Dilemma is a really hard thing to decide for Nintendo don't you agree?

the Dexter Dilemma

When a man acts so zesty around women it's impossible to tell if he's a simp or just gay
(a modern 'simp or gay?' take of the TV show Dexter where the mc is both a detective and a murderer)

"Hey he keeps getting his nails done to hang around those pretty girls. That's a solid case of the Dexter Dilemma right there."

Good-option dilemma

The good-option dilemma is that typical scenario where—for example—some evil authority figure holding you hostage gives you two options: one where you suffer the most and the other where you don't suffer as long as you give them what they want. Obviously you pick the second option out of desperation, but the dilemma here is that no matter what option you choose, in the end the evil figure will still make you suffer (typically by being killed or watching your loved ones die).

I had a good-option dilemma today where my computer's SSD got corrupted and I either had two options: wipe everything and do a clean reinstall of Windows, or pay a few hundred bucks to have some specialist recover the contents. So I paid for the recovery but the people shipped back the wrong drive with somebody else's files! So in the end, I had to wipe my drive no matter which option I went for. This is the good-option dilemma in a nutshell.
