       huh. I finally figured out where in the params indicates which item uses which icon, and it turns out it's GENDEREDthere's separate entries for male-icon and female-icon!

       @foone so I guess the answer to “why are modern games so big?” Is “gender”

       @foone so you're right: it's ~1/290,000th, aka part, of why the game is 29 gigabytes!
