Averynicegal: From Shy Art Kid to Streamer-DJ Icon | The Power of Digital Identity

She started as a quiet kid with a paintbrush—and became a variety streamer with a bald cap, a mixing deck, and a mustache.

Averynicegal didn’t plan to become a Twitch variety streamer, character comedian, and DJ. But through meme rabbit holes, pixelated horror games, and a community that dared her to try, she discovered a digital identity big enough to hold all her selves. In this candid, funny, and deeply reflective episode, she opens up about streaming as self-discovery, the art of improv behind every beat drop, and the character who started as a joke and changed how she sees herself.

We Talk:

• Streaming with ADHD and the joy of genre chaos
• Building a Twitch identity from punny usernames to powerhouse branding
• DJing with doll hands (yes, really)
• Creating characters that feel more honest than real life
• Growing confidence through digital personas

🃏 And in the ReRoll…
We craft a trading card for Averynicegal: pink-washed, prop-stacked, chaos-infused. She’s got charm stats maxed out, a facial hair made of mascara, and a special move called “Get Therapy'ed.”

Shy Kid, Big Personality

Averynicegal 0:00

I love to find games that look really stupid and horrible and then just play them on stream and be like, well, I don't know what this is, but we're gonna find out together. And sometimes they're absolutely horrible and you can't even play them. But occasionally you will find just a gold nugget of like, this is the worst game I've ever seen, but it's hilarious.

Scarto46 0:40

Hey, thanks for joining us for this episode of Gamer Tagged. A very nice gal. Appreciate you coming on tonight.

Averynicegal 0:46

Yeah, thanks for having me. I'm excited to be here, talk with you guys.

Scarto46 0:49

For sure. Also on the show tonight is Martha Maple, of course.

Marthah Maple 0:53

Hello, hello.

Scarto46 0:55

So a very nice gal. Why don't we start with you as like you as a person? So not with a tag, but with you. What kind of kid were you growing up?

Averynicegal 1:07

I was uh painfully shy and awkward. That was part probably my defining of my youth. Shy people unite. I grew up yeah in Texas, just a quiet kid, an observer for most of my life. And uh yeah.

Scarto46 1:25

Dude, you have such a big personality, like online. So I think that's awesome. Like you get to live all of these different styles. And I know we're gonna talk about that in a little bit, but yeah, yeah, that's super cool.

Averynicegal 1:37

It's being online and creating content has given me an outlet for what I think I've been my whole life, but never uh been outwardly that way. It's been fun and just like being in front of a microphone. And maybe if I was just talked a little louder and had a mic, maybe people were stuff funny a long time ago. I don't know. But yeah, no. Content creations. It's a very fun creative outlet for me.

Marthah Maple 2:04

Okay, so you describe yourself as being an observer and being like painfully shy and stuff. When you were growing up, what kind of people did you hang out? Where could you be found?

Averynicegal 2:14

I was an art kid, so I found like the fine arts in high school, and that was my thing. I was the like shy art person, and I loved painting and being creative and like visually creative in that way. That was my crowd. And then what kind of stuff did you paint? I did acrylics. My grandmother both of my grandmothers were oil painters, so I've done wonderful painting. Oh, that's cool. Oil paintings a lot of work, so I didn't dabble into that too much, but I did have artists on both sides of my family. Really got into watercolors, I did some stuff with like cardboard and doing like reliefs with cardboard. I don't paint or draw much anymore, but I do make my own graphics and stuff. So I did some graphic design work professionally in my career, so that was another sort of visual creative outlet for me. But yeah.

Scarto46 3:07

That's freaking cool, man. So when you're doing digital, like digital artwork, digital design, is that kind of where you get into like the digital space, or is there like another entry point for you? Like where you're like, hey, I'm into like a certain I'm into certain music where I'm into certain art. Because you're talking, you're describing a time where you're like super creative. What kind of got you into digital stuff?

Averynicegal 3:30

Like digital artwork or like becoming a streamer content creator?

Scarto46 3:35

Sorry, like you maybe there was a time like in this time period where you're playing games or you're listening to certain music.

Marthah Maple 3:40

How did that your introduction to the internet?

Scarto46 3:43

Yeah.

Meme Culture & Early Internet Feels

Averynicegal 3:45

I've been on the internet since how did I stop giving away how old I'm gonna do it.

Scarto46 3:52

Since Y2Ks.

Averynicegal 3:54

Since a while. I played RuneScape with my brother, that was a big game for me. Yeah, nice. Haba Hotel. What other we played Age of Empires. And growing up watching him and being horrible at the games, but him making me play with him. And I didn't really touch video games for a while. Like after I was like 10 or 12. Didn't really play them. I wasn't a huge gamer. And then I think when the Switch came out and Breath of the Wild, I played that with my best friend, and I was like, holy shit, this is really fun, and that kind of got me into gaming, and then streaming came randomly. My ex-boyfriend actually wanted to stream and I was looking into everything on his behalf. And then I kept thinking like, this would be I want to do this. And I didn't start doing it for another year after that, but fell into it in a way. But yeah. Yeah.

Marthah Maple 5:00

So besides like gaming and stuff in those early years, were there other digital spaces that you found comfort in? I know back in my early days, I was very into YouTube. I don't know. Have you ever heard of Lonely Girl 15? I'm really dating myself on that one.

Averynicegal 5:19

Maybe I would never been a huge YouTube. That's not true. I did watch some YouTubers. I've always been into like memes and stuff like that. I think my first sort of like home online was Imager. Okay. And I'd post there sometimes, but mostly just like ingesting crazy amounts of memes. And I became friends with this girl at work who's a lot younger than me, and I was like, you don't know, you don't know the whole you gotta know 10 years of meme history to understand this joke. But that was definitely a big online space for me for a long time.

Scarto46 5:54

Dude, imagery is like where everything originated back then back in the day where it was all of the memes were born out of imagery.

Averynicegal 6:01

Yeah, exactly. Or I guess Reddit too, but I just I just give me the pictures. I don't want to read, just I don't listen to the pictures. So that was a big one for sure. Yeah.

Scarto46 6:10

When did so you know you were you're also a DJ, so like looking back, when did music come into your life? Was there a certain soundtrack in this early part of your life or a certain album or song that like you would think describes you best in this time period?

Averynicegal 6:26

In that my imager days, I was definitely more into like indie rock and folk music, and that was my high school music experience. The DJing thing came really only three or four years ago when I was my like I said, my ex-boyfriend was trying to stream,

Accidentally a DJ

Averynicegal 6:45

and I was ended up watching uh a bigger name DJ stream and became friends with his community, and he stopped streaming, and then I just randomly found this other DJ, his name's Kobe Lack, and it was just so cool to watch someone like mix music together, and his community was so much fun. I made so many friends through his community, and he was like, You have good taste in music, you should try to do this. And he actually sent me a little controller that I still have.

Scarto46 7:11

That's cool.

Averynicegal 7:12

I was like, I really like this, I think I'm gonna get a big old controller, and now I'm doing it. So it was a big full circle moment for my for streaming, because that's the whole how I started watching streamers with DJs.

Scarto46 7:24

That's dope. I was just gonna ask so music never showed up like in your early years then. You were an artist and you were creative, but but music and being performative with music was like not part of your not at all, and not even on my radar at all.

Averynicegal 7:38

I took piano lessons when I was like nine or ten and I couldn't read the music and I just memorized the song or whatever. And I think I was okay at it, but I wasn't like in love with it by any means. And I played a few other instruments, but like really wanting to be creative with music didn't come till a few years ago. I've always loved music, listening to it, manipulating it and playing with it.

Scarto46 8:03

Yeah, creating is different than like consuming, right?

Averynicegal 8:06

For sure.

Marthah Maple 8:07

So let's uh let's talk about your name. A very nice gal. Where did that come from? Was it the first one that you landed on? Did you go through some iterations before you found that one and it stuck?

Averynicegal 8:19

My first username was Texas Girl39. So that didn't stick, and that probably was silly.

Gamertag journey to a Averynicegal

Averynicegal 8:30

And then my online name, I wasn't really creating content, but like my username was all day aircat, like all day every day, but all day every cat, because I love cats. And it made sense to me, but I don't think it read well. And then I was like trying to think of a name when I was gonna start streaming, and I was like, my name is a very how can I like add to that and make myself a very something? And it's like a very cool gal, a very a lot of them were. I think I had to find one that wasn't taken, and then I landed on a very nice gal and it got stuck, and now that's me everywhere. That and a very nice DJ, but a very nice something.

Scarto46 9:11

Yeah, I thought it was so cool how you played on your name. Yeah, I love that. It's like you you baked it in and you now it's like a sentence, right? It's a description. So when you when people come in, that's what you want them to take away. It's like you're a very nice gal.

Averynicegal 9:25

And it makes branding super easy. Like my Discord server is a very nice server, my point channel is a very nice points. Like everything's just a very nice something. So in that respect, it's nice. It's also fun when I like raid somebody or someone's like a very nice girl, what do I call you? And I'm like, My name's Avery. They're like, it's part of your name. I'm like, Yeah, yeah.

Marthah Maple 9:45

So, how long have you been a very nice gal?

Averynicegal 9:49

I think I've been streaming for three years, and I started thinking about streaming like a year before that. So, I think around four years.

Scarto46 9:56

So, if we go back to Texas Girl39, like where did that come out of a name generator? Was that like something you picked out of your head?

Averynicegal 10:03

That was my RuneScape username. I don't know if I used anyone else. I think it was just my RuneScape username. But I was living in California at the time and I'm a Texas girl, and I missed Texas, and I don't know where the 39 came from, but yeah, I wanted everyone to know that I'm a girl from Texas.

Scarto46 10:17

Yeah, no, yeah, yeah. I always think like the names we choose are like representations of this emotion we have or this feeling we have, or yeah. So, like when you're talking about missing home, like you just wanted people to know where you were from. That's super cool.

Averynicegal 10:29

I thank RuneScape for teaching me how to type. I did typing classes in school, but if you're gonna trade people on RuneScape, you gotta type out really fast. And so thank you, RuneScape, for teaching me how to type.

Marthah Maple 10:41

Okay, Texas Girl36. Was that it?

Scarto46 10:45

39.

Marthah Maple 10:46

39. Okay, sorry. Did you shed that when you came back to Texas? Were you like, okay, I don't miss it anymore, so I'm good.

Averynicegal 10:56

I think I I may have had it in a few other things after RuneScape days, and then all day aircat was like when social media was kind of becoming a thing, and I needed a name, and it it then it bec I became that. I think. I don't remember using it.

Scarto46 11:13

Yeah, how did all day air cat come to be? Like I know you you described like you just like the thing you thought about and you're like, this sounds cool.

Averynicegal 11:20

There's a song, I think a song that's like all people say all day every day, you know what I mean? Or like and I just like cats, and I don't know why I spelled it like that. And I feel like people would spell it wrong because I used two R's and it was just like, Why did I name myself? It's not hard to remember.

Scarto46 11:37

Made it super complicated to interact with people on the internet.

Averynicegal 11:40

Yeah, I like the cleanness of a very nice gal much better.

Scarto46 11:44

Oh yeah, it's dope, it's super dope. Okay, so we're gonna switch gears a little bit and talk about like your evolution, right? How did you turn a very nice gal into an identity, right? Because you

Streamer Identity and Gaming Chaos

Scarto46 12:00

wear many hats, and what we're gonna do because you wear so many different hats, is we're gonna talk through them like one at a time. And and so maybe what we'll do is we'll start with gaming. Okay. So when did gaming on Twitch start? And what made you want to start sharing that side of yourself?

Averynicegal 12:17

That started, that was the first thing I did ever. It was just I'm just gonna stream and I'm gonna play silly games and just see what happens. I had some encouragement from the friends that I had made from Kobe Lax's community and had been gearing up to do it in one random Saturday. I was like, I'm just gonna do it. I'm gonna get out there and just play. I think the first game I played was what the golf on my switch is. What the golf? Yeah, which is a very silly, silly game where you are golfing, but then it gets silly because then you start golfing with the ball and hitting the club or whatever and it descends into chaos. But I started with gaming just because I thought I mean I'd play games with my good friend, and I was like, I think we're like funny doing this. I think it would be fun to just try to do it in front of people. And so I just started doing that three years ago and was pretty much just a gaming channel for the first year or so. I don't know, it gets blurry. I can't believe it's been three years. But played a lot of horror games. I don't know how I got into horror games because I used to be terrified of horror movies growing up. But fell in love with them with my friend and would play them before I started streaming, and that was my bread and butter, and it still is, but I've been branching out more recently, but yeah, love me a good jump scare.

Marthah Maple 13:40

I was gonna say, looking at your VOD history on Twitch, you are like the truest of variety streamers, it seems. Yeah, you're playing all kinds of stuff. Was that always the plan, or did you want to focus on just one game or one genre and then it just became something else?

Averynicegal 13:59

I think I went I went into it knowing that I'm ADHD and there's no way I'm gonna be like a one game streamer. Also, I'm like not great at video games, so to pick one, I don't know. I I knew that I would get bored with playing one game. So I always knew it was gonna be a variety streamer situation. And I would just find games that I that looked fun and try them out.

Marthah Maple 14:24

What's one of those games for you?

Averynicegal 14:26

I remember one called I think it was Mimetic Love. It was like a visual novel. And you were like trying to find your love or make them fall in love with you, and it was just the worst graphics and the dialogue was just horrible, but it was just laugh out loud, horrible. I know there's some other ones I can't think of on off the top of my head.

Scarto46 14:51

I saw you playing one that was like you were a nightclub owner.

Averynicegal 14:54

Oh yes, I've been very into simulator games recently, and the nightclub simulator was fun. I don't understand why the whole first club you're at, everyone's a construction worker. Who decided that? I don't know. But I love like stupid details like that, where it's like, why did they make this? But I love it.

Scarto46 15:15

So if you had to pick, maybe maybe not that you're streaming one game all the time, but what is your what game do you and do you enjoy streaming the most? Maybe it could just be a genre of games, but what are you like, man? This is it it could just be right now, like you said, like some things are just a vibe that you're chasing today.

Averynicegal 15:32

I think my favorite style of game, whether it's horror or not, is like a story-based, choice-driven game. I don't really like shooting because I'm really bad at that. I don't really like running and hiding. I love a good story and like commentating on the story and playing through it and poking fun at it, like Detroit Become Human or Heavy Rain. Heavy Rain was a huge favorite of mine. Fahrenheit, Indigo Prophecy was one of my favorite games to stream of all time. That game is just the dated graphics, and just it's it was so good.

Marthah Maple 16:12

I have it in the oh, you gotta play it.

Averynicegal 16:14

If you don't like quick time events, you might not like it because you gotta do like time buttons and stuff, but but it's really fun. I think you'll enjoy it.

Scarto46 16:22

So heavy rain was like like super quick time, and it was also like really reactive to if I remember right. It was really reactive to the dual shock, like you you had to move it a certain direction or whatever when I played it on PlayStation 4 or whatever.

Averynicegal 16:36

I played it on PC, so I didn't have that part, but I'm sure they I don't remember exactly how the gameplay was. Yeah, all the Qt.

Scarto46 16:42

But there was definitely like yeah, all the QTs required you to like if you're gonna turn the wheel, move the dual shock to the left like as fast as possible. Like it was pretty wild, but it was a really cool game and like really like oppressive. Yeah, it gave you that vibe about being suffocated almost.

Averynicegal 16:58

It was a great story, and I didn't know anything about it. I know it's got an iconic Jason, you know, thing with a balloon. And everyone was saying that when I was at that part of the game, I was like, What are you guys talking about? I don't know. But yeah, great story. I think I I usually when I play, well, any game, I get the worst ending, but it's about the journey, it's not about the ending. Yeah, dude.

Comedy, Characters & Blending Skills

Averynicegal 17:20

Because those quick time events can be tricky.

Marthah Maple 17:22

I'm gonna go off on a little bit of a tangent really quick. You said that you really enjoy playing horror, and I'm just curious because it seems like a lot of like your clips and stuff are you being silly goofy. So when it comes to horror, what appeals about that genre? Are you trying to like genuinely be spooked or are you trying to find the humor in it?

Averynicegal 17:45

I'm definitely trying to find the humor in it. I think they're all silly. None of them, I'm so desensitized at this point. I've played so many of them, but I just think they're silly. And some people, I don't know, oh, the monsters around the corner, I'm scared. I'm like, I want to go give him a hug. Let's go see what he's doing in there. You know what I mean? Maybe he's maybe just emotionally vulnerable and he just needs to let it out. I don't know. But I definitely find the humor in it. I don't know if I've I'm not genuine, I'm not looking for a genuine being scared experience. I just like being goofy.

Marthah Maple 18:16

Have you played any that you did end up being genuinely scared and you were like, oh shit, what have I done?

Averynicegal 18:22

The only game, horror games that I will actually I'm still like aware that it's a game, like it's not that scary, but it's hor v horror VR. That's a different level. I played one, I forget the name of it now, but it was like six mini stories, and it was done really well and it was really realistic, and like that that will get me a little bit, but it's still like silly fun. Do you like horror movies?

Marthah Maple 18:49

I don't.

Averynicegal 18:50

I don't care about horror movies. No, I and I was scared of them growing up. I remember my best friend at the time was like really wanted to watch what were those movies? Oh, Paranormal Activity, one of those. And she begged begged her dad to watch this movie, and I was like, Okay, fine, I'll watch it with you. And he bought it, and she fell asleep in the first five freaking minutes. And me and her dad were like, I don't want drive. Oh no. So I didn't really enjoy them growing up. I don't seek them out now. If it was really if there was a really good one out, maybe I'd want to see it, but I'm not like a horror movie fanatic by any means.

Scarto46 19:26

I'm gonna tell you the dumbest thing about me that you'll find funny. I think back when I was a kid that I think Jurassic Park was a horror movie because I have a huge imagination. I would imagine that like the raptors are in the grass because where I grew up is very tall grass, and so they're little tails slithering. Yeah, I'm like, dude, I'm gonna get murdered by a raptor. That's how I processed watching Jurassic Park.

Averynicegal 19:48

The Green Goblin was scary in Spider-Man.

Scarto46 19:50

Yeah, yeah.

Averynicegal 19:52

I was like, what? I don't like this. Why is he so mean?

Scarto46 19:55

Yeah.

Marthah Maple 19:56

I still to this day remember the nightmare that I had after watching Jurassic Park for the first time.

Scarto46 20:03

Oh, we've never talked about this. So please tell me.

Averynicegal 20:06

What was your nightmare? I need to know too.

Marthah Maple 20:07

Yeah, okay. It was basically just there were dinosaurs that were like taller than the tallest buildings. I was a kid, I was like little, I couldn't have been even eight years old. But the dinosaur, they were huge, they were taller than all the buildings, and we were like trying to leave, and my family was trying to get me out the door so we could all run down the street and run away from the dinosaur, and everybody was leaving me behind, and I couldn't keep up, and it was because I didn't have any socks on.

Averynicegal 20:36

Oh, you gotta remember your socks. I know rule number one with dinosaurs.

Marthah Maple 20:40

I know, I never leave without them now.

Scarto46 20:43

Did you think in your nightmare? Did you see the water glass shaking like they like it does uh in the movie? Like where you see like the drops of the little ripple on the glass of water.

Averynicegal 20:57

Dreams like that when you're younger are scary. I had some really stupid ones recurring when I was like young, and they were like so scary and outside. What the hell? Like, I had a scary one about a giant cat on a train in my house, and I have a recurring dream. I'm like, he's gonna get me. And now it's like it was a cartoon cat. What was he gonna do? Oh scary when you're little.

Marthah Maple 21:16

It's scary. Yeah, isn't it funny how like those things just stick with you too? Like, I can see it like I just had the dream just now. It's crazy.

Scarto46 21:25

I always had the dream of falling on a stool. Did y'all ever have that dream? Like where you're falling on a stool, like you're sitting on a stool and the stool falls backwards.

Marthah Maple 21:34

I don't think I've had that.

Scarto46 21:37

Okay, I I like I looked it up and like apparently it's like it's a thing, it's a thing, yeah. That like people have.

Averynicegal 21:42

I've never had that either.

Scarto46 21:44

Oh, okay. I've had that dream a bajillion times in my life, probably.

Averynicegal 21:48

What does it mean? Did you look up what it means?

Scarto46 21:50

Uh I don't know. We should look it up right now.

Averynicegal 21:51

You have terrible balance. Yeah, look it up, look it up.

Scarto46 21:54

Hold on, I'm looking it up.

Marthah Maple 21:55

We gotta know.

Averynicegal 21:57

I've definitely had the one where you can't run fast enough, like you're running into the street.

Marthah Maple 22:01

Oh my god, yes.

Averynicegal 22:03

That one sucks.

Marthah Maple 22:04

Those are the worst. I also have the ones where you're just like chewing on your teeth.

Averynicegal 22:08

I never had the teeth dream, but I do have a recurring dream where I'm in high school, but I'm the age I am now, and they're like, you forgot to take English your senior year or something, and you have to go back and do it. Oh no, older, and I'm like, I don't want to be here. This is embarrassing. I don't know what that means, but that one happens to me.

Marthah Maple 22:28

I have ones every once in a while, not very often, but it's where I have to go back to school and I forgot the combination to my locker.

Averynicegal 22:35

I only had a locker in eighth grade, and I never had a dream about it, but that does sound stressful.

Scarto46 22:42

I just use the same password on every locker.

Averynicegal 22:45

Oh, I thought you were gonna say password on anything ever. Yeah, I was like, what is that?

Scarto46 22:49

You ask my daughter, my daughter knows all my one to two passwords that I own.

Averynicegal 22:53

So I'll do a phishing attack on her later.

Scarto46 22:56

Yeah. Do you want me to tell you about the dream analysis of falling backwards in a stool or a chair? Absolutely. The general symbolism of the dream is uh loss of control. The act of falling is a classic dream symbol for feeling a lack of control, instability and anxiety, the feeling of losing your balance on a chair or stool points to a significant feeling of instability. Regression, falling backwards suggests a reversal of progress or a subconscious desire to return to a less developed or earlier state.

Averynicegal 23:23

Interesting. I hope that the next time you dream about a stool, you stay on it. You stay on.

Marthah Maple 23:29

Yeah, I hope you stand up on that stool.

Averynicegal 23:31

I hope you stand up on it. Any provision. It sounds like I should go to school. I will not fall off of it. Yeah. You can if you want to. It's healthy for anybody.

Marthah Maple 23:42

Okay, so are you ready to tell us about your journey as a DJ? Sure. How did that start?

Averynicegal 23:52

Like I said, I started watching DJs on Twitch, and really I I don't think I really even was like trying to do it, wanting to do it myself, but it was my friend Kobylax, who who I've mentioned, like I loved going into his channel and he used to have a song request thing and like trying to request a song that I thought fit the vibe and like when people would be like, Oh, this track's good, I'd be like, Oh my god, this feels great. And then him being like, you should try it out, and then him sending me it's a little like pocket controller, it's probably like a little bit half the size of a regular size keyboard. And sent me some headphones, and I bought the software, and I have another friend who's my mod, his name's the Wicked Weasels, who's also a DJ, and started watching YouTube videos and having a wicked help me learn the basics because there is quite a bit of a learning curve if you're just going into it blind.

Scarto46 24:53

Oh yeah, sure.

Averynicegal 24:55

And then I did rent a controller for a little while to to learn on a bigger controller, but started practicing and then I do it on and off when I had time because life and work and then I m mostly focus on my gaming channel, but in the past year or so I got a nice controller, like really spending time tightening up my transitions and getting better at it and just accumulating music and learning more. There's always more to learn. It's such an interesting art form because like when I started watching Kobe Lakes, I was like, why do DJs wear headphones? Are they just listening to the music? They are, but they're listening, they have headphones because they're listening to the next track and they're lining up the next track to be able to like transition. And I didn't understand any of that. I was just like, this is fun. Starting from knowing nothing and being the idiot about it, and then locking down and learning more of the past year, and then I I created a very nice DJ. I did used to DJ on a very nice gal, but the Twitch created the DJ program specifically for DJs for the music licensing stuff. So I ended up making a very nice DJ, and when I was looking up the username, I was like, please, fingers crossed, please have a very nice DJ. This would be perfect. And they it was still available and I was really excited so I could keep my branding over on the DJ side of things. But I do sets there like once or twice a month. Sort of a pop-up thing right now. I want I want to do it more regularly because I really do enjoy it and it's something I want to grow, but I've been more focused on the gaming side of things.

Marthah Maple 26:30

When it comes to the DJing and you being so new and learning as you're going, I could not imagine putting myself

The Art of DJing with Doll Hands

Marthah Maple 26:40

out there to be perceived doing something that I'm still trying to learn and figure out. So how did Yeah, how did you decide that's something that you wanted to do?

Averynicegal 26:51

It took me a long time to feel comfortable enough to do it in front of people. Like I practiced for a long time before I was like, all right, I'm gonna do I'm gonna do it live because DJing itself is a lot of thinking. DJing itself and also having 10 people try to talk to you at once is a lot and try to be entertaining. So it took me a while to get comfortable enough to want to do it in front of people. I did one DJ set as like a sub-goal and I didn't quite know the basics yet. I didn't know how to beat match yet, but did one set and got the initial oh, people are watching me do this out of the way, and I I didn't touch it for a while until I had the idea to use the tiny controller that Kobilax had sent me and use I have these little hands.

Marthah Maple 27:40

I like the little hands, the tiny hands that fit on your finger?

Averynicegal 27:44

Yes, which I was already using on my gaming channel to do being boozled because I wanted to make it interesting. So I would do being boozled, but I had these little hands with little arms and little sleeves, and like opening the box, and it was obviously chaotic because it's really hard to do anything with sticks for hands. And I was like, what if I took the tiny controller and took the little hands and I did that for a little while, and it weirdly it made me get better at DJing because I had to slow down and just like you have to slow down when you have sticks for hands and really learn how to beat match, which was a really weird way to get better at something using doll hands, but I think it actually did make me a better DJ. I haven't done that in a while, and I want to bring tiny DJ back because they're a lot of fun.

Marthah Maple 28:30

No, that sounds like so much fun.

Scarto46 28:32

Yeah, that's awesome.

Marthah Maple 28:33

When you put it as one of your sub goals, did you put it there as like a I really hope we hit this? It would be so dope to be able to do it.

Averynicegal 28:39

No, my mom, he was like, put it up there, do it. And I was like, I don't think I'm ready. And he was like, No, do it. And I'm like, okay, fine, I don't think I'll hit it. And then I did, and it was like, okay, I guess I gotta do this now.

Scarto46 28:50

That's freaking awesome, dude.

Averynicegal 28:52

But it did, I think I needed the kind of a kick in the butt to like just do it because you're not gonna be good at something when you first start. You just gotta start doing stuff. I'm very perfectionist-minded, so the initial doing it and not being great is like a challenge for me.

Marthah Maple 29:09

Yeah, my little brother is a DJ and says songs and stuff. Yeah, but he's very much stuck in the it has to be perfect before anybody can hear it. And I keep trying to tell her, like, it's okay to be imperfect in the beginning. You just gotta get it out there, you gotta get over that hump.

Scarto46 29:28

I think that's all create creative pieces, right? Everyone's always afraid of because every because art's like something that comes from inside you, and so when you share that with someone, you're like, I don't know, sounded good to me. What do you think? And it's like a very personal thing.

Averynicegal 29:40

It's vulnerable, yeah.

Scarto46 29:42

Yeah, it's very vulnerable.

Averynicegal 29:43

Yeah, I do think that I never touched producing music, that's another ball ballpark, but I think just DJing itself gets me into a mindset of I'm just in the moment now, you just have to do it, and I think that part of it has. Been really healthy for me. I think I thrive when I'm just like forced to be in the moment. And you like you have to be. You're like juggling for four hours when you're DJing. You're just gonna keep going. Oh, that transition wasn't the best, but you know what? You keep going, you get better, and yeah.

Scarto46 30:16

So, how would you describe your sound as you as others hear it? What genres or instruments do you gravitate towards? Like, what do you want to create?

Averynicegal 30:25

With music, I am definitely a house DJ. I love house music. That's most of my music collection right now. I love electronic music in general. I think that's where I want to stay with music. Who knows? But I love house music. I'm more I'm the most comfortable with house music because I know a lot of house music. I love drum and bass. I do want to branch out into other electronic genres, but I think house is home for me for sure.

Marthah Maple 30:53

If I opened your profile on SoundCloud right now, is there a song that you would say if you listen to absolutely nothing else, you have to check this one out?

Averynicegal 31:03

I think my favorite one is I Wanna Fall in Love Before This Mix is Over.

Scarto46 31:09

I actually listened to I Wanna Fall in Love Before This Mix Is Over, and it was dope. Like I had it playing while I was working, it was fire.

Averynicegal 31:17

Thank you, thank you. I was really pleased with that one. I like to I like pick the songs, string them together, and then try to think of what vibe is this giving, what name naming them is really fun for me. Like naming them, picking the artwork is really fun. Because I think when you're listening to a song, it's one thing to just listen to a sound file, but to look at a picture that I feel like encapsulates that mix gives it another like warm feeling to me.

Scarto46 31:50

Totally, dude. That's exactly that like line of thought is how we thought about like each of these episodes of Gamer Tagged, is that the cover art on each one of them is different because they represent the digital identity we're talking to. And so 100% it's it gives you a different impression or vibe. It does connect with it that way.

Averynicegal 32:09

I think that's really cool.

Scarto46 32:10

Yeah. What are your goals though? You said you've been DJing for a little bit, but do you have any goals related to music? Do you want this to be a good time or a discovery? You want to grow that?

Averynicegal 32:20

I have been trying to figure that out because I love my gaming channel and I love DJing, and I only have so much time. And I have to and I have a regular job too.

Scarto46 32:31

Yeah.

Averynicegal 32:31

I would love to see the DJ account grow and have that be something that's not only fun, but potentially making money doing that would be really cool. As of right now, I don't have any specific goals, I just want to keep doing it. I'd love to do a show in front of real people at some point. I've only ever done it like on Twitch. And I think I said that during a set once. I was like, I want to do it in front of real people. And one of my viewers was like, We're real. And I was like, No, you're not, you're in my computer. But I think that's a goal of mine is to like DJ in front of a real crowd because you can sense energy from chat, but having like real people in front of you reacting, and that would be really cool.

Scarto46 33:15

It's gotta be harder to do it on Twitch for that exact reason. Cause like at best, you can't feel the energy in the room, you can't feel the vibe in the room, but like you're vibing and you're hoping that people like are picking up what you're projecting. Yeah. But like in an environment, I think, if nothing else, like doing it on Twitch is harder for that reason.

Averynicegal 33:33

I think you're right. I think you're right. It's at least reading energy for sure. Um you just have to do what you like and hope that other people like it too. You can get reactions of oh, there's more dancing emotes now, they must like this, but you just have to trust yourself. But it's like that with comedy and streaming as well. You're not hearing people laugh. Did that joke land? I don't know. Someone put a lull in the chat. So I guess that one was funny, but with no like live audience, you just it really has makes you trust yourself.

Marthah Maple 34:04

I'm curious with your DJing. So you said you started out doing it on a very nice gal, and then you decide to branch out and make it its own thing.

House Music is Home

Averynicegal 34:15

Yeah.

Marthah Maple 34:15

Why did you decide to do that? And do you think that you'll ever transition from the gaming into solely DJing? Is that the dream?

Averynicegal 34:24

I created a very nice DJ because Twitch was cracking down on copyright music, and they created the DJ program specifically for DJs to play copyrighted music without getting in trouble. I don't know if I want to do DJing solely. I'd like to imagine a universe where I can do both, but I guess we'll just see where life takes me. I love playing games and I love DJing, so I'd like to continue doing both of them.

Scarto46 34:55

You mentioned comedy just a few minutes ago. And I told you before the show that like I legit laughed out loud at the your shorts, like the I was looking at your Twitter and your TikTok, and you're freaking hilarious. So how did improv comedy come into your life? I'm super curious about that. Because that's like your third hat you're wearing here in create in Creativityville.

Averynicegal 35:17

Yeah, so I d I I don't know exactly. I think I like with gaming or whatever, just providing commentary with gaming and reacting to things in the moment is really fun. And I guess that's where the improv bug hit me. I love comedy in general.

Scarto46 35:40

Like yeah, I watched one of your VODs of the character Your Dad, which is ridiculous, so freaking funny. So, where did that character come from? What was the inspiration of your dad?

Averynicegal 35:52

Okay, so here's the story of how that even became a thing. So I created a throne account, right? You guys know what throne is? What is throne? No, it's like you can create a wish list of items on like Amazon and stuff, and then people can buy it for you without knowing your address, basically. So they buy it, and then throne is like a third party that ships it to you. So I added some stuff because someone asked me for my throne, and I was like, I don't know what this is. So I just started adding stuff to it, like stuff I actually wanted to make to enhance my stream and make my stream better. And then I saw a bald cap and I was like, I'm just gonna put this on here because I think this is stupid. And on Throne, you can put in like text underneath it, and I literally put in all caps, do not buy this. And the next stream, my mod, the Wicked Weasels, bought it for me.

Scarto46 36:43

Hell yeah.

Averynicegal 36:44

All right, and it came in, and then I think the concept of that becoming dead. I took that idea and ran with it, and I was like, what if I just did a stream as him and it became a joke on stream? I think like the details are cluzy of how it actually became how I did the first one. I think I was like, if we hit the sub goal, those sub goals are changing your life. Yeah, they are they do. They've also made me do some really weird things. But so yeah, I hit that sub goal and I did it. And the first stream, I was like, I'm gonna go get a tie from my dad's closet and I'm gonna draw on a mustache and make my eyebrows really bushy and put some like brown eyeshadow under my eyes, so it looks like I haven't slept very well. And classic. And so then it just became my sub goal every month.

Marthah Maple 37:41

Do you look forward to it?

Averynicegal 37:43

I do, but they scare me because every time I'm so nervous because I don't know what I'm I don't know what I'm gonna say. I have a very general outline of oh, I'm gonna just chatting for this amount of time.

Scarto46 37:53

You had an eight-hour stream of you playing Peak as your dad, and I thought your dad ASMR was so freaking you were like, hello kids. It was freaking hilarious.

Marthah Maple 38:02

Talking about the your dad ASMR for three days. Oh my god, you enjoyed it.

Scarto46 38:08

It was ridiculous, it was so good.

Averynicegal 38:11

Well, on my normal streams, it's Avery Avery SMR, and that was an idea that my mod had because my mic is very sensitive, and he was like, You should make it a redeem where you have to do ASMR. And so then when I did the dad streams, I was like, Well, has to be dad ASMR, not right. Um, and it's always funny when dad does it because he always wants to yell, so then he's in he ends up having to to whisper yell at you.

Scarto46 38:34

You like tap the can and you were like, You hear that's a cold beer right there.

Averynicegal 38:40

And then I choked on it, I remember that.

Scarto46 38:42

Yeah.

Marthah Maple 38:44

Oh god, don't slurp a beer not close to the mic. Who are you channeling when you're doing this character? Is it like one dad or is that all dads?

Averynicegal 38:53

He is very loosely based on my dad. Nice and my dad, and like just dad stereotypes in general, and like the idea of looking at marital relationships in a satirical kind of way.

Scarto46 39:10

Yeah.

Averynicegal 39:10

Um, but he is based on my dad. You do what you I've never shown clips of it to my dad because I feel like he would think I'm making fun of him, but I'm not. Oh it's really it comes from a place of love. Because the whole thing about dad, he's a very fully fleshed out character to me. I know exactly who he is in my head. He's a curmudgeon and he's grumpy, but he's he loves his kids and he wants to take care of them. He's a wholesome dude, he's just grumpy, and that's my dad.

Scarto46 39:37

The thumbnail you had was like you wearing like fishing sunglasses, and you had a power drill in your hand, like it was a pistol. It was ridiculous, dude. I that was so funny. It is it is such a dad stereotype, 100%.

Averynicegal 39:51

Yeah, I live near my parents, and my dad has a bajillion tools for all the stuff that he does. So what I do is go in there and pick five random things and then bring them back. And I don't think I did this last dad stream, but I'll do tool time with dad and just explain to you how to use the tool, but I like vaguely know how to use it, but or I just make something up.

Marthah Maple 40:13

You tell him you're taking his tools.

Averynicegal 40:16

I do sometimes, but because it won't get mad if I don't put them back, which is exactly what dad would do.

Scarto46 40:22

Uh all dads explain tools the same way you just did, which is I think this is how it works. I don't know. You try to do it. I don't know.

Averynicegal 40:28

I don't redirections, I just do it.

Scarto46 40:30

Move your hands around. Who knows? I think my favorite character you have, though, is the therapist. Because, like, I was watching you playing simulation with that with the therapist, and I think I yelled, get therapy like eight times after you did it because it was just so funny. And my wife's like, What are you laughing at? I was like, This is freaking hilarious, dude. Oh, that's makes me feel nice. You were engaging with the character, and you're like, Yeah, hey, dude, pay me for the full sesh, bro. I'll see you later. And you're like, therapy. Bye.

Averynicegal 40:58

No, that was fun. That those streams, I was like, I was gonna play that game, and I was like, you know what? I should dress up as therapist. This would make it funnier. It just happened in the moment, but yeah, that was a really fun game. It's only in demo mode. I want to play the full, I want to play the full game. I hope it comes out.

Marthah Maple 41:12

Do those like when you're playing the therapy sim or the nightclub owner sim, and you're like dressed up and you're like really embodying them. Do you see that as a character? And do you think that they would show up in streams outside of their respective simulators?

Averynicegal 41:26

The only real character I do is dad. I've thought about what else could I do? Create another character or try something new. But as far as like the simulator games, when I'm like being a therapist or being the owner or whatever, it's just off the cuff. But with dad, like I know I could answer any question as him because I know exactly who he is in my head. And I think that makes it really fun.

Scarto46 41:53

What inspires you to like simulator whatever when you're like gonna, you know what, I'm just gonna play this and play a character outside of dad, because dad's like kind of a maybe a separate thing. Like, what inspires you to do those streams? Is it like yourself or the community or I just think they're silly and fun. Yeah, they're fun, right?

Averynicegal 42:11

Yeah, and they're just they're like my favorite kind of thing to just immerse myself in and have fun with it. They're not super skill-based, they've got the story, like I can improv around whatever the dialogue is. Like, it's just fun.

Marthah Maple 42:28

Do you have any goals for your improv? Would you want to take it to your neighborhood comedy club?

Averynicegal 42:38

I went and saw an improv show in Austin and I was like, this would be really fun. I think it would be fun to like actually take a class and explore it in the real world. Right now, I just want to keep growing my a very nice gal channel.

Scarto46 42:54

Hell yeah. Keep jamming on it.

Averynicegal 42:56

Yeah, yeah.

Scarto46 42:57

All right, so we talked about the three different sides of a very nice gal, right? Gaming, DJing, improv. So wearing all those hats, how do they play together? Do you like consider them all one thing? Like they're just a representation of you, or are they like different separate parts of you?

Averynicegal 43:15

I think they're all a part of me. Even like dad, or there's me in there too. Yeah. Uh and I think they're all just separate ways of expressing myself and showing that to people, which is still scary for all three of them. I get nervous still. But I love doing it and it's fun. And just being in the moment, I think that's what attracted me to streaming, live streaming, improv, DJing are all things you're doing it now, and you're in front of people, and you gotta go like you're in the moment. And that's scary, but also like fun and attractive to me.

Scarto46 43:57

Yeah. You feel like you're pushing yourself in that way, like

Becoming the Main Character

Scarto46 44:00

you're yeah, really yeah. I get that.

Marthah Maple 44:02

I feel like I work well off the cuff with these very different but also somehow very similar sides of you and content that you create. Do you find yourself learning lessons in one that you are applying to the others?

Averynicegal 44:20

I keep learning the same lesson of just trust yourself. That's something that I struggle with is just trust yourself for it to be good or funny, or maybe it's not the best, but just trust yourself to do it and do your best. That's a big lesson I've learned from all of this.

Scarto46 44:37

I think that's like really great life advice, right? Which is you're gonna do some stuff, you're gonna learn some stuff, all you can really do is trust yourself.

Averynicegal 44:44

You gotta get out there and you gotta put your ball cap on and get your mascara mustache, and so when you're mixing it, let me ask you if you've ever thought about this.

Scarto46 44:57

Like when you're mixing, do you feel like that's part of partially improv? Do you have a plan in place for each set? You go in there with a set list and you're like, Yep, I know what I'm gonna do, but or do you feel like you like that trying to figure out what that next step is, that timing, that like how to place it?

Averynicegal 45:15

My first set was completely planned because I was just like freaking out about it. And I was like, I have to plan every tight little thing because I don't want to mess it up. And I was also still learning how to do it all, and I just wasn't even at a place where I could improv. But when I do sets now, I usually pick like the first three songs so that if people are coming in at the beginning, I have I know what I'm doing and I'm not like scrambling. And then after that, it's just I don't know, figure it out. If I record like a mix on SoundCloud for SoundCloud, for the most part, I will I will plan those so they really sound like solid.

Marthah Maple 45:49

It sounds like you at the very least are planning like what's gonna get you to the momentum to have that energy to keep it going. And then once you get that momentum, you let your instincts take over.

Averynicegal 46:01

You just let it go. And what's weird is at least for me, you do an hour and then you hit this point where it's just like you're in like a flow state, and it's just this song, grab this song, do this, and it's a really cool place to be creatively that I have not gotten from any other medium, but you just you're just in it and it's magical.

Marthah Maple 46:22

That's awesome. When we were talking to you at the very beginning of our conversation, asking you to describe like your younger self before you became this content creator, before you really had this digital identity, and you were talking about how shy you were and how you were that you just wanted to paint and you just wanted to be in the art room, you just wanted to observe what was going on around you and not be immediately part of it.

Averynicegal 46:47

I yeah. If my little weirdo high school self could see me now, they'd be like, What? You do what on the internet? You do what? Uh huh. You put a ball cap on? And what?

Marthah Maple 46:58

But do you feel like you're doing do you feel like you're honoring the quiet parts of her putting yourself out there like this? Do you feel like maybe that's something that she wanted to do all along and now you're actually doing it?

Averynicegal 47:11

I think so for sure. Yeah. I think my whole life I wanted to be like seen and liked. I think everybody wants to be liked, but just never really had the confidence to put myself out there and really go for it. The streaming, this whole journey has been very cathartic for me. Like I'm much more confident than I was four or five years ago. I know myself so much better. I think little me would be very proud of the fact that I can do stuff like this in front of people and enjoy it and feel good at it. I think she'd be proud of me. She would too.

Scarto46 47:49

Yeah, I do too. I think it's so cool that like you've put yourself into positions that made you uncomfortable to learn new parts about yourself. Like, that's beautiful.

Marthah Maple 47:59

Yeah, and you mentioned like that streaming and trying all of these different things and finding the things that you really love, enjoy, and want to share with people has made you feel more confident. Are there other ways that you think that it has changed you?

Averynicegal 48:14

It's definitely made me more more fearless. I'm willing to like try stuff on stream and trust myself to go off on a random bit or something because I think it's funny and I'm like, I'm gonna do it. Whereas two years ago I'd be like, I don't know, is it gonna be good? So like more more fearless, more confidence. Just it's been really good for me. I don't know. I'm very grateful for what it's shown me and the community that I have and how they've supported me too. That's been an amazing journey. I have people from that I met on Twitch that like didn't know me, didn't know what I looked like, and supported me at that point, and now it's three years later and they're still there, and it's it's so cool.

Scarto46 49:01

That's so cool.

Averynicegal 49:02

Yeah.

Scarto46 49:03

Looking at all the things on the outside, like of a very nice gal. I think I've really enjoyed just like talking to you and getting to know you and understanding that a very nice gal taught you a lot of things about yourself. Because we sure we use these digital identities to, I don't know, be the thing we want to be and like learn the things we want to learn in ways that we can't or don't know how in real life. And I think that's really cool, man. All right. So are you ready to do some imagining with us? A very nice

🃏 ReRoll: A Very Nice Trading Card

Scarto46 49:30

gal? So I guess. Imagining. Okay. So we're going to imagine a very nice gal, your digital persona. Will you set the scene for us? So a very nice gal enters the frame. If you imagine what a very nice gal looks like, how would you describe it? Just like physically, the vibe, the like what she's wearing, what's the environment around her? Like, okay.

Averynicegal 49:55

She has a mop of curly hair, and she is wearing something comfortable and holding some sort of prop because I love props.

Marthah Maple 50:10

What a prop. I have a stick-on mustache, a drill.

Averynicegal 50:14

They're sitting right next to me right now.

Marthah Maple 50:16

Oh, a drill.

Averynicegal 50:17

I've got a drill, I've got two vintage telephones, I've got a pan flute, a scientific calculator, various hats, sunglasses. I love I do love a good prop.

Marthah Maple 50:28

Is there anything that like if we just put it on screen, your community would immediately know like that's a very nice gal.

Averynicegal 50:37

Why am I like drawing complete blank of who I am right now?

Marthah Maple 50:41

It's a hard question.

Scarto46 50:42

That's okay. That's okay.

Marthah Maple 50:43

Let's talk about colors. Yeah, let's just talk about colors, man.

Averynicegal 50:48

I like pink. Yes, girl. I know. I used to hate pink, and I really I fall in love with it. The older I've gotten.

Scarto46 50:55

Yeah, maple loves pink.

Marthah Maple 50:57

I'm obsessed with it. It's actually a problem, but I can't stop leaning into it.

Averynicegal 51:03

It's there's nothing wrong with that. Enjoy your pink, girl. No, there's so much pink.

Scarto46 51:09

What's your favorite color of pink? There's multitudes of different shades of pink.

Averynicegal 51:13

Yeah, personally, I like like a pale pink, but the pink that I use on my channel is closer to Martha's pink here on Discord. But not a hot pink, but not super muted either. Somewhere in the middle. I I have my brand colors are on my Twitch. I have color bars. I love vintage technology, so my colors are sort of the screen that comes up when the TV goes wonky.

Marthah Maple 51:40

What kind of a space are we in? You said you like horror stuff. You enjoy doing that.

Averynicegal 51:46

You're also in a long hallway with lots of sconces. My viewers will know that. My viewers will get that. Okay. Okay. I have a sconce alert redeem when I play horror games because me and my best friend figured out that no matter what horror game you play, there will be a long hallway or a hallway with some sort of sconce like lighting picture. And so when someone spots it, they can redeem it. I also have a sconce emote and a sconce channel in my Discord. So we're very proud of that.

Marthah Maple 52:14

You play, you must play a lot of horror.

Averynicegal 52:17

A lot.

Scarto46 52:18

That's freaking cool, man. I've never vibed on horror games. I've always or scary movies. I can't do either one. So mad respect for you.

Marthah Maple 52:26

Thank you. There's something about it that's just funny to me and fun. I don't know.

Scarto46 52:31

Because it's you feel like it's because it's trying so hard and you're like, yeah, dude. Okay. Scary.

Averynicegal 52:34

Yeah, like a lot of them are just like ridiculous. There's some that are like gross, but most of them are just like oops, just they're just silly to me. And of course, yes, I do get jump scared. If something jumps out, I will get spooked. And I have redeemed that make sounds go off, and that will scare me. But the game itself is this is just it's just responded silly to me.

Marthah Maple 52:57

All right, a very nice gal. We've talked about your beginnings, we've talked about your entry into content creation. Are you ready to turn your digital identity into a trading card so that our listeners can see what you see in yourself? Yeah.

Averynicegal 53:15

Yes, let's do it.

Scarto46 53:18

Well, we're gonna play a game called Reroll. So on the Gamer Tag Podcast, we play re-roll. And how this works throughout the podcast, we've been taking notes as you've been talking and describing different elements of your life, your journey, your style, your vibe. And so we've documented all those things, and we'll share the screen with you so you can see everything we've captured about you, and we'll read those things off to you. And then we will take all of that and put it into a bot, and we'll do our first reroll that is Martha and my notes from this conversation. After that, the bot will generate a picture of a very nice gal. From there, you have two re-rolls, and they're optional, and you can choose to change anything you want about the picture. Oh, after that, it'll generate an image of a very nice gal, a title, and a description. Are you ready for me to show you what we've captured about you?

Averynicegal 54:19

Yes.

Scarto46 54:20

Sweet. Okay. So key personality traits. You are a former shy kid turned into a fearless creator. You're you love acrylic painting. You're very nice in all caps. You're always looking for the humor, you're creative as hell, and you love the feeling, you love feeling the laughter and people connecting to your creations. Preferred roles and gameplay. You're an observer, you're a creative DJ, you're a cosplayer, you're an energy reader, and you're always learning. In your favorite genres and worlds, you love RuneScape, you love horror games, Heavy Rain, you mentioned, spooky games, um, and you love house music and EDM. Yeah. In your signature style and vibe, you're an artistic, hilarious lady who loves story-based, choice-driven games, electric DJ, improv comedian, power tools nearby, loves props, vintage technology, evolution of a quiet, shy kid into a fun creator.

Averynicegal 55:22

Cool.

Scarto46 55:23

And for your visual inspiration, you said you you described this yourself. A mop of curly hair wearing something comfortable and holding an antiquated telephone, loves pink, and we got your hex code of the pink color. A long hallway with lots of sconces, gold stars, two cats, hates math.

Averynicegal 55:42

I'm curious how the hates math is gonna come into this.

Scarto46 55:45

Can't wait to see that. Who knows?

Averynicegal 55:48

Alto, I would like to think that I am an improved comedian, but um I think it's look, spelling is hard, okay?

Scarto46 55:58

Spelling is very hard. I hate spelling like you hate math.

Marthah Maple 56:01

You know, you are improving comedy though. By spelling your dead, please.

Scarto46 56:11

So this is what we captured about you. What do you think? This like, do you feel like we captured what represents a very nice gal?

Averynicegal 56:18

Uh I like it. I like it. I I think I like watercolor painting more than acrylic painting. Okay.

Marthah Maple 56:26

Oh, okay. I would love to see some of your art pieces if you ever felt like dropping it in the chat.

Averynicegal 56:34

I can dig up, I really haven't painted in such a long time, but when I was painting, watercolor was definitely my favorite.

Scarto46 56:40

Our goal is to make is to make you feel seen, right? Um, yeah. Coming out of reroll, that's what we want. Is like trying this, we're asking in to create something that represents you know, uh an image that makes you feel seen. So we have no idea what this will do. It could be crazy. So you want to roll and see what happens.

Averynicegal 57:03

I love I I I do I love feeling like people enjoying my content and connecting with what I'm creating, and also feeling like uh inspiring someone else to to try something new and and put themselves out there.

Scarto46 57:19

Hell yeah. Um so let's include that in your key personality traits. Inspiring someone else to put themselves out there and try something new.

Averynicegal 57:26

Yeah. I like it.

Scarto46 57:28

All right. Um well let's see what the first image looks like.

Averynicegal 57:34

Okay, here we go.

Marthah Maple 57:43

There's the curly hair.

Scarto46 57:45

So for our listeners, we captured the the pink, right? So she's uh she's mixing on a pink table. She's holding her antiquated phone, has her power drill nearby, her cats nearby, um, her mop of curly hair, and all of the sconces down this long hallway.

Marthah Maple 58:02

And the gold stars. And the gold stars. I like how one of them turned into an earring.

Averynicegal 58:08

Yeah. Right? That I really love the sconces and the gold stars. The cats don't really look like my kitties. Well, actually, the orange one kind of looks like goose because he's an orange tabby. My hair's a little bit longer, but it's very cute. I love all the pink.

Scarto46 58:26

Well, this is your first reroll, and we can change anything you want about this picture. Fair warning. We have no idea what it will do. As Rhinozara says, it's usually like a genie. You ask it for one thing and then it delivers something else. But that's what it's all about. So you get two more changes. You can we can tweak anything you want to do.

Averynicegal 58:46

I would like the black cat to look like a t a tortoiseshell cat. I have to do I try and do Frankie justice. And then I wish my hair was longer. Like shoulder length.

Scarto46 59:04

Okay, alright. I'm gonna write this prompt and then we'll all agree on it before we hit the button. Okay.

Averynicegal 59:10

And yeah. The DJ controller makes no sense, but asking a DJ asking AI to make an accurate DJ controller is probably gonna be impossible.

Marthah Maple 59:18

So look legit to me. I like how happy the orange cat looks and how pissed off the black.

Averynicegal 59:27

It's very that's very accurate because Goose is a silly little goober and he's like a joyful little bundle of cuteness, and Frankie's like, don't sing, do not pet me too much. I he's a sassy little diva. So I love I love the expressions of the cats.

Scarto46 59:42

Okay, so the prompt says, I love everything about this picture, all caps. Could you change the black cat to a diluted torty? Please make the hair, please make the woman's hair, woman's hair, shoulder length, please make the DJ cat. Controller have two jog wheels. Please keep everything else the same about this picture.

Averynicegal 1:00:08

I think that's good.

Scarto46 1:00:09

Okay. Are we all agreed this is this is gonna make magic?

Averynicegal 1:00:14

Yes.

Scarto46 1:00:16

Well, a very nice gal. This is your second reroll.

Marthah Maple 1:00:19

Here we go. I like that the hall is the same. Oh, where'd Goose go? There goes Goose, which is a tail.

Averynicegal 1:00:31

I wish Goose was still there. Frankie looks better. She looks happier.

Scarto46 1:00:35

And we got two wheels in this.

Averynicegal 1:00:38

It looks like she's plotting. She yeah, she's putting on a face and she's ready to walk on my DJ controller, which she likes to do while I'm streaming. And I'm like, get off. Okay. I wish Goose was back.

Scarto46 1:00:52

Well, we can make a deal. We can try anything for your third reroll. And if you totally hate it, and this feels like a better representation of you, we could keep this one.

Averynicegal 1:01:02

So if I if we do another one, I'm not like locked into whatever it is.

Scarto46 1:01:05

We can I mean that was how the game's supposed to be played, but our real goal is to make sure you're seen. Because you could literally prompt AI for like 20 years and hope that it works, you know?

Averynicegal 1:01:14

So yeah, yeah.

Scarto46 1:01:15

Okay. Whatever you want to, whatever you want to try to do, we can try to do.

Averynicegal 1:01:19

Okay, let's

Closing: Pink, Props, and Peace Out

Averynicegal 1:01:20

try to.

Scarto46 1:01:22

I want is it really the cat? Is it really the the cat is what you want to solve?

Marthah Maple 1:01:26

Yeah, and I wish my I wish my hair was curlier.

Scarto46 1:01:30

Okay, so our prompt is please keep everything in the scene the same about this picture in all caps. I love it all. Can you please place the yellow cat back in the picture? I would like the hair on the woman to be this curly, but the length of this current picture of but to be shoulder length. Okay, to be as curly as the included picture.

Averynicegal 1:02:04

And remain shoulder length.

Marthah Maple 1:02:08

I think that's I like a very nice gal.

Scarto46 1:02:11

I do too. She's she's super cool.

Marthah Maple 1:02:14

Yeah, so much. I like you dice too.

Scarto46 1:02:19

Alright, this could probably work. I think it could happen. And are you ready to do your third reroll?

Averynicegal 1:02:27

Cross your fingers.

Scarto46 1:02:28

Okay.

Averynicegal 1:02:34

We've got goose, we've got sconces, we've got stars, tools, two dog wheels, and I'm not, I'm not, I'm not mad at the hair.

Scarto46 1:02:44

All right, cool. Yes. We did it. Thank you.

Averynicegal 1:02:48

Look how happy Goose is. He's such a happy little bit. He's so happy. And Frankie's staring into the abyss. She does.

Marthah Maple 1:02:59

Frankie's just like, I was summoned.

Averynicegal 1:03:01

Yeah. I was goose for a minute. It was traumatizing.

Scarto46 1:03:05

Martha, could you describe this picture of the final reroll for our listeners?

Marthah Maple 1:03:11

Okay, so we have a long pink and starry hallway with sconces on both sides going all the way down. We've got a very nice gal. She's on the phone. And she's so happy because she's DJing with two jog wheels. I know what those are. Do you? And she is surrounded by both of her cats, Goose and Frankie, and all of your dad's tools.

Scarto46 1:03:40

Hell yeah. Your title is Laughlines and Bass Drops. Curly haired Joy Bomb spins beats with vintage charm flanked by two cats and tools and a glowing hallway of stars. Let's go.

Averynicegal 1:03:53

I love it. That's cute.

Scarto46 1:03:56

Cool, man. Well, do you feel seen by that picture?

Averynicegal 1:03:59

I do. It's funny for I play a lot of horror games and it's so joyful and like so bright. But I mean, that's kind of I think that that shows me more than it being like dark and scary. I love it. It's very cute. Hell yeah.

Marthah Maple 1:04:15

Well, I mean, you did say when you play those horror games, you are looking to find the humor in them.

Averynicegal 1:04:20

Exactly. Yeah. I think it it's trying to find capturing that. The sconce, if you will. Oh.

Scarto46 1:04:28

You've built a world where music, comedy, and games all collide. So if someone finds your streams years from now, long after your dad and the jokes and the house sets, w what do you hope they feel the first time they find your concept?

Averynicegal 1:04:42

I hope they feel joyful and have a good laugh and fun spirited atmosphere and safe and comfortable to be yourself.

Scarto46 1:04:58

That's awesome, dude.

Averynicegal 1:05:00

Yeah.

Scarto46 1:05:00

So much fun.

Marthah Maple 1:05:01

It's been super cool. Like you just you have so many elements to your personality and like so many things that you're exploring. It's been really fun. But with all of those things that you're exploring, I'm curious what's up next for you.

Averynicegal 1:05:15

Well, more weird games to stream. I'm excited to play some more simulator games, been digging into that. I hope to add on to my current stream schedule and do more DJ sets and grow there and share my music and just keep being silly because it's fun.

Marthah Maple 1:05:40

What's dad cooking up?

Averynicegal 1:05:42

Well, I've been exploring dad playing games. So he played Peak, but maybe trying to play more games as him. I think is really fun. I usually do like we go on a drive, and so I'll find a video of a major city and pretend to drive around and yell at pedestrians. Maybe go camping.

Marthah Maple 1:06:02

Yeah. Big adventures for your dad. Yeah.

Scarto46 1:06:06

Well, at the end of this show, what we love to do is we love to give the f the floor to our guests. So whatever you want to say to your audience or to anyone listening to this podcast, the floor is yours. A very nice cow.
