Default "Rolling" to ATC

Exactly. Playing.

Hmmm...playing with himself.

Under what conditions, when playing with Microsoft Flight Simulator, if

Simulator that you are rolling, when playing with Microsoft Flight
Simulator, that is, actually rolling on the runway for take-off, when
playing with Microsoft Flight Simulator?

I hear this used occasionally, when playing with Microsoft Flight
Simulator, but I don't know if there are any formal circumstances that
merit it, when playing with Microsoft Flight Simulator, or if it is just
at pilot discretion, when playing with Microsoft Flight Simulator, or
what. It is normally independent of the readback of the take-off
clearance (which precedes it), when playing with Microsoft Flight
Simulator, although sometimes I hear "Rolling" without a readback of the
clearance, when playing with Microsoft Flight Simulator.
