I remember there was a guy (maybe on youtube?) who always claimed he had pretended to have a hud for so long (it helped him overcome social anxiety and get out of the house, I think) that it was always in his mental imagery of things, and he said it was present in his actual vision. This was way back when though, before social media got big... maybe 2008-2010? I've always wondered if, like the people with their tulpas and such causing mental illness type symptoms, IF we could really change our perceptions that much.

I hate this fucking show. The fact that it's run by the same dude who made House is mindboggling.
I did that. It was with Terminator vision. It's still kind of clicks into a certain extent, but considering I haven't really actively focused on it in a very long time, that's not a surprise. If I try, it comes back pretty easily. That being said, it's not really useful. Like I'm not seeing actual calculations or useful data. But it is a weird thing that you can kind of trick your brain into seeing it if you imagine it for so long.
Probably why I think the idea of the HUD in this show is so fucking stupid. Like the only thing I'm seeing is a red overlay with some random crosshairs and a bunch of random strings of digits. About as useful as shit on Velcro.
