Measured over 4 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 4, 2026.
Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 4 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 90 interactions against 214K followers, an engagement rate of 0.042%. Posts are seen about 13K times each, and 0.688% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.16% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.27 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 13% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 4 posts sampled, 50% carry an image or video and 75% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 22K interactions, about 239x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #gamedev, #gaming, #ghosthunting. Only 4 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 08:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 50% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 75% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | -3% | -3% to -2% | 54K |
- 50% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 75% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 174 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 3% below the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

Iβm so sorry for everyone at id Software affected by these layoffs. I know what it feels like to leave id while id goes on. Itβs a strange and painful thing to step away from a place that holds so much of your work, friendships and history. The people at id have done a great job moving that legacy forward. DOOM, Quake, and Wolfenstein are not easy names to carry on, especially in todayβs industry. The last few games showed real care, skill and respect for what those worlds mean to people. A note on digital preservation: id's history is critically important to the history of games. Iβve preserved idβs complete early history from our start at Softdisk through to August 6, 1996, including materials and assets that, as far as I know, id itself no longer has. I hope someone is doing the same for the companyβs ongoing legacy (the work, code, assets, stories and the people behind them). Iβm thinking of everyone at id today, and everyone else affected by yesterdayβs layoffs. Romero Games was there a year ago. I know how devastating it is, and my heart's with all of you.

It's DOOMβs 32nd birthday today! It amazes me how far this rebellion of a game has travelled. We wanted to build the the greatest game we could imagine playing, and generations of players have kept it alive. Itβs one of the great privileges of my life. https://t.co/uCOOagWT3e

Happy 35th Birthday @idSoftware! To celebrate, I made a doc about Catacomb 3DΒ (1991), the 1stΒ texture-mapped FPS. A crucial step just beforeΒ Wolfenstein 3D, we figured out how to make flat mazes feel like real spaces. The DNA of FPS games starts here. https://t.co/Wkl0ibAfVz
