I think it's work even if it's for fun. I'm like you, I'm a software dev and I code things as a hobby. I like exploring and making things happen and doing ctf type things. Even though it's fun, it still gets tiring and I have to take break.

Even with games, they're fun until they're not. Sometimes I get a few hours into a game and then just never finish because i can't force myself to enjoy the gameplay. I feel like at that point I would call it "work", but other games I can play up to 100 hours. I don't think i've ever stayed interested in a game longer than that.

But anyway, do something else to relieve the burnout, and then get back to it. Sometimes I just need a new project.
