Notes -
Not sure if this is what you're looking for or if this is "fun" in the traditional sense, but I find it fun - I've been focusing on completing a piece of music that's been in the works on and off since March 2021, adding detail to it and fleshing it out. It's quite common for me to have very long track development times (ranging from three months to over a year) and very large projects (over a hundred instrument tracks, at times).
I've also been drafting, planning and writing out some hard sci-fi stories, but these haven't gotten too far because making the stories scientifically plausible and logically sound is not easy. I've been digging into AI, engineering, evolution, biochemistry, astrophysics, planetary science and all sorts of other fields in order to inform what I come up with, which is quite a big task for a layman like me. Trying to write attractive sounding prose is also very difficult (and fairly annoying). Then there's trying to develop the characters - stories have such a huge amount of facets that you really need to perfect if you want something well-rounded.
Other than that, not much. I don't play games myself much (though I used to watch LPs quite a bit), nor do I watch films or shows much anymore unless something sufficiently to my taste comes out or someone else in the room is already watching, so hobbies are usually nearly the entirety of what I do for fun.
