Can someone explain what the joke is? I've been staring at this for 10 minutes trying to figure out what the hell this is trying to say

Reference to the video game Baba is You. I haven't played it but it but you essentially reprogram aspects of the game by moving blocks around. From what I understand, to win you must move whatever block "is you" to whatever block "is win" the player made itself "is win" leaving nothing for "is you" heanse being "youless" a pun on this meme normally saying clueless.

it is a meme about Baba is You

edit: as described by wikipedia:

The game centers around the manipulation of "rules"—represented in the play area by movable tiles with words written on them—in order to allow the player character, usually the titular Baba, to reach a specified goal.

In each level, the player is presented with a one-screen puzzle consisting of various objects, characters, and movable word tiles. The player is given control of one or more characters or objects on the screen (most often, the player controls a character named Baba, a white sheep-like creature).

In the case of the meme, changing "Boye is You" to "Boye is Win" means that you (the player) is not represented in the game anymore, which also means you can't win.

I shall download the game, play it, and revisit this meme to have my chuckle. Thank you

Actually you can, but the correct sentence in this scenario would be "you is win" or "win is you". It isn't important that you is boye if your objective is win.

It’s a reference to the game Baba is You, which allows you to manipulate the rules of the game by moving blocks around to form sentences like “Wall is win” or “Tree is you.” In the picture, someone tries to make a move switching “Baba is You” to “Baba is Win.” This makes touching Baba (the usual player character) the win condition, but it also means you’re no longer controlling Baba so there’s no way to actually move your character to the win condition. I hope that makes sense, if it doesn’t you can look up some gameplay on YT or something. It’s kinda tricky to explain in words.
