A screenshot from Final Fantasy XII shows Penelo’s gambit menu, where automatic rules determine which spells and actions she performs. The joke is that configuring these conditional actions resembles programming, so the image fits the experience of a programmer who spends free time playing a game only to encounter more programming-like tasks. It is commonly sent as a sarcastic reaction to overly complicated game systems or work following someone into their leisure time.
