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.

I'm so good syndrome

When you think you're so skilled, but in reality it's your teammates/characters that are doing all the heavy lifting. Resorting in you falling behind.

Josh: "wow I thought this game was supposed to be hard, I've cleared 11 stages already! I'm the best at this game". In reality Josh pulled a 5 star hero early on.

Josh was later on team wiped on stage 15, for disregarding lobby upgrades, and for not paying attention to his hero's needs/upgrades; Thus he has I'm so good syndrome.
