Dear Silenceindustries,

What's annoying is when Larry causes problems and makes things worse. Not when he's actually helpful for once.

Every Halloween I watch your comic dub about Rodimus forcing Halloween upon Megatron... and on occasion I also watch "DON'T STOP! BELIEVING!"

I’m glad that folks are still finding enjoyment in my older works! Those were a lot of fun to audio edit and record for. Thank you for your continued support! 🙂

So I've been reading that a heart rate in the 50 bpm isn't anything to worry about in the age range of 20s if one is active every day

Honestly it's not so much a matter of age, it's a matter of training. A trained athlete, especially endurance athletes can have heart rates of well below 50. I'm saying 'somewhere between 35 and 60' if they're at rest.

Now this is important, these low rates are resting heart rates, meaning 'person is entirely relaxed and sitting/lying on the couch and hasn't been physically for a while before'

The reason for that is that endurance sports train your heart muscles to become stronger and also larger. Something similar happens to the lung volume actually, meaning that the breath frequency gets lower too. And that's not just from 'being active'. When I run around the lab all day I'm active, i'm on my feet and moving. That's not the same as cardio exercise or endurance exercise or any of the things people do to deliberately build up lung and heart volume.

That said, the phenomenon itself can be quite entertaining if the medical professional taking the pulse doesn't know they got someone like that in front of them.

The last time my dad was in the hospital (mountain biking accident), one of the training nurses took his pulse and got Very Nervous when he came up with like 45-ish. My dad was 49 at the time. My dad has also successfully completed several Iron Man Triathlon competitions and is still VERY much going out to do pretty strenuous exercise every day. This heart rate is completely normal for him.

What is or isn't a 'too low' heart rate really depends on the overall condition of the person. Age plays a role, but exercise plays a bigger one, and of course if the person has any actual issues. Some people tend to have a naturally lower pulse rate than others. There can be a huge individual span to not just where your resting pulse is, but also how quickly it rises and falls again when you exert yourself, where the top rate is, if you are taking any medications or have medical conditions, all that stuff.

There are general guidelines that go for most of the populations but if you're an outlier (endurance athlete, medical issues) that guideline may have to be adjusted quite a bit to establish YOUR acceptable range.

Especially when you consider a High End Courier is carrying the most powerful guns in the game and has enough brains to negotiate peace where they want

Precisely, they're basically an unstoppable force and they could talk their way out of trouble with a good silver tongue, for example. Very useful in a dark fantasy setting as well XD

I was writing a NV Novelization of sorts following him but lost interest. Now I'm writing a crossover fanfic where a high level courier is deposited into a dark fantasy world.

Aww that's okay! A Courier lost in a dark fantasy world sounds quite the story tho, not too detached from the tone of the Fallout series :D

Very glad you like Seth! He's a bit scrambled eggs from getting shot twice in the head

Oh he seems pretty rad!! It's very understandable tbh, but that's what makes him more interesting! And his interaction with Marlow genuinely made me giggle, he's so frustrated by his height XD
