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."

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?

Dima: Thanks for the help. I'll try that.
