As much as my silence has indicated, I have more or less effectively quit Cardfight!! Vanguard.
That doesn't mean that I won't come back at some point, but the reboot from V series ended my desire to play. Yes, it is now twice that my decision to fully SP out Blaus was followed shortly with a reboot announcement. Oof. Coupling this with my decision to stop playing Vanguard Zero, and I'm effectively just not playing Vanguard and haven't in months. I decided to take a look at the reboot, but it took all of two sets for genuine problems to be found showing that Bushiroad simply hasn't learned its lesson in printing creep to outdo the previous sets and they will probably never stop.
This isn't to say I'll never come back, though. I do enjoy what Vanguard was. It's not all that different now. But, as things stand, the absolute worst thing I could do is invest myself into something I'm not currently enjoying. All of my Vanguard friends and I still have regular board-game nights and want to start up our Dungeons and Dragons campaigns, and I find great enjoyment in those. I'm not "out" of the community either. I'll still shitpost on Vanguardians from time to time.
That being said, I'm currently just backlogged on games I do enjoy and I've recently been pushing out things I was playing out of obligation instead of fun, and I feel much better for it. I haven't decided what the future of my YouTube channel will be, but time will tell.
