I would love to buy one of these seriously. These kept me entertained for hours when I was a kid.

For a really long time I didn't know you were meant to put the rings in the hoops. I just liked seeing the rings float around as a kid. Autism moment maybe?

It's only very recently somebody told me it's an actual game, and they pretty quickly got most of the rings on one of the poles.

It's a game, meaning you're supposed to do whatever makes it fun for you. If you were having fun just launching the rings then you were playing it correctly!

Damn dude. I hope you're doing ok.

Is this sarcasm, or are you being serious? I can't really tell.

If it's the latter, then yes, I am okay
