Kylie Jenner's Relatability Play

"Kylie Jenner confessed to being a gamer. She's a lifelong devotee of The Sims, which makes sense, because Jenner is the youngest of many siblings and The Sims is a game where you can create your siblings in a virtual sphere, put them in a room, and then delete all the doors."

"First, she tells the comedian and podcast host that she played the first Halo and had a GameCube as a kid, and then she confesses that she recently bought a Switch and has been playing Breath of the Wild, which is "like, one of the best games ever.""

"Jenner says she's been playing for "days and hours," having beat one Divine Beast. Jenner's episode of Therapuss comes on the heels of her appearance at the Met Gala (which she teases in conversation with Shane) and a much-discussed "get ready with me" video she filmed while on her private plane - two of the least relatable things a person can do in modern society."

"For years, Jenner didn't seem more or less relatable than the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner crew, but as she's inched toward a different kind of spotlight over the past few years through her relationship with Timothée Chalamet, it feels as though there's been a concerted effort around "rebranding" Jenner as a more approachable Kardashian."

Kylie Jenner said she has been a gamer since childhood, citing long-term devotion to The Sims. She described playing the first Halo and having a GameCube when she was younger. She also said she recently bought a Nintendo Switch and has been playing Breath of the Wild for days and hours, having beaten one Divine Beast. She discussed her gaming interests alongside other public appearances, including the Met Gala and a “get ready with me” video filmed on a private plane. Her gaming confession is presented as part of a broader shift toward a more approachable public image, even though her overall lifestyle remains far from typical relatability.
