Thirded, PSLs are the way. Games these days have lost a lot of luster for me because I'm not really interested in having crosscanon CR with the characters from "popular" canons like Genshin so I'm happier writing interactions and scenarios with a character I enjoy reading about and threading with.

Games have that element of obligation where you have to make AC, tag people who tag you even if you don't have much investment in the CR, etc. I'm not yet at the "join games to find PSL partners" point like some players but certainly near it.
