That's only for that puny site. I'm referring to something more akin to the information theoretic computer science concept of maximum gender file size, where you can't add in any more gender before the amount of information turns into a black hole.
Insofar as gender is a social construct and potentially unique to a person, one could say that gender's maximum file size would be equal to an entity's conceptualization of their gender. While you might be able to parse out the "gender" portion of a standard human brain by mapping the various neural connections' patterns that form the basic archetypal building blocks that eventually model gender through their activation in series, that excludes the possibility of a non-human brain that could have a much more defined, complex conceptualization of gender. While there is likely an upper limit given inherent physical limitations in the emergent phenomenon of sapience, there is much yet to be explored in this topic.
The human genome is 200 gigabytes, but that only includes the biological sex. The average human brain can apparently store about 2500 terabytes, so about 2500.2 TB. This assumes that all genomes and neurons have an effect because you did ask for the maximum.
One of these days I'm going to find the backups for all of the .WAD files I got from random ass FTP sites in the early days of the Internet and I will die of nostalgia.
Well that and the machines didn't have the same performance as they do now.
Now you can stream assets from the hard drive and render the game at the same time.
Games can be better now because we have objectively better hardware, and better ways of rendering assets.
I still feel like people are focusing too much on details that don't really contribute to the experience, only to throw AI at it, to make it run better.
Effectively making the 4K textures and high Polly models pointless because you are going to look at an AI upscaled version anyway.
Pronouns are rip/tear
Dammit you stole my joke lol
our joke, comrade ☭
Is there a maximum theoretical file size for a gender?
Yes, 10MB, apparently.

Absolute minimum? 12
Planck's gender

you might consider asking fungi this question
Underrated comment
No, then it just resets the scale
10MB ought to be enough for any gender.
It's surprising they would need more than 640kb, really.

2**64 genders ought to be enough for anybody.
That’s only the shareware version. Full DOOM took like 8 floppies.
8 floppies? You need to pump those numbers up!

If you can't find your backups, perhaps most of them are (linked from) here https://www.wad-archive.com/
That is a rabbit hole I'm not going anywhere near a few hours before I have to go to work!
My next day off is going to be fun, though!
Nah it was 4 disks for the original 3 episodes. Doom 2 was 5, iirc
42.zip
(zip bomb that decompresses into a ...Yuge file.)
Do you have an alternative to the Twitter link?
I did not mean for it to be a link, TIL that the TLD .zip has a 42 e try that redirects to Elon's shit show.
Do you think Nintendo will sue me if I identify as Super Mario 64 (8mb)?
welcome to the world Super Jario 69 (respects your pronouns but can't afford the legal fees to use them)
Dang there's a part of me that wants to be Doom
Fucking Doom nerds have now installed Doom as a gender.
Either three HD 3.5", or five 5 1/4".
Doom II was either five 3.5", or CD-ROM which was this thing only your rich mate had at the time.
If you upload it enough times your gender can be the doom song

It always hurts a little when you have to show people how little space stuff used to need.
I like modern games with awesome graphics and sound quality, but I feel like we lost the ball a while ago on what is important in a game.
Because storage was expensive back then compared to today. Like $280 for a 20MB 5.5 inch hard drive expensive.
Well that and the machines didn't have the same performance as they do now. Now you can stream assets from the hard drive and render the game at the same time.

That's the compiled game...
