Ehhhhhh, I'm typically of the mind that if people are able to joke about something (and share publicly) that there's still an element of fun to it. Of course they are free to correct me if they want haha.
I imagine it feels a bit different for each of us, but I don't find it too bad. Granted, I'm single with no dependencies at home, so I could work all I want and I'd only be affecting me. Long crunch stints can definitely end up tiring (32 days straight for me during finaling ME3, muhaha), but they're also satisfying in a way. Knowing you're working on a thing you love for other people to love, and are trying to make it the best thing it can be.
