    Ep4 Mental Load + Skill Based Matchmaking

    Episode 4: Mental Load & Skill-Based Matchmaking What do parenting and competitive gaming have in common? More than you might think. In this episode of Patch Notes Parenting, we dive into the invisible weight of the mental load—from remembering every appointment, meal, and bedtime routine to carrying the emotional responsibility that often goes unnoticed. Then we shift gears into the world of gaming to talk about skill-based matchmaking (SBMM): why it’s so controversial, whether it actually makes games more enjoyable, and how it changes the way we play. Join us for honest conversations, relatable stories, plenty of laughs, and our usual mix of parenting chaos and gaming debates.
