    Fallout is hyper realistic

    Ah, yes, stim-pacs have saved my life numerous times, and I also experience time dilation at my own whim! And, obviously, a quick hit of Jet has gotten me going at least a few times over the years.

      Considering it’s set in the future and modern studies into rapid wound healing (like this one https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2023/04/230418011121.htm this one https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-50009-3 and this https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7463929/) it’s fair to say that stimpak like tech is not unrealistic in its nature. It actually follows research trends of the 1990s.

      experience time dilation at my own whim

      Perceived time dilation.

      And Jet is pretty much a variant of meth.

        Rapid wound healing doesn’t mean a bullet hole heals in seconds nor does it mean a crushed bone will magically straighten and fix itself.

        3 times faster means 1 months instead of 3 months for full tissue heal.

        Jet actually lets you perceive faster. Meth gives you the illusion you are thinking faster where in reality everyone looks at you while you stand there grinding your teeth.
