got a local library/bookstore that has a "take our free shit" window. They had 4 ds games there today, mint condition, like spotless stuff. 99% durability on those babys.

I've got two theories as to what that poster was trying to say:

Der Herr Der = Durr Hurr Durr

Or:

Der Herr Der = reference to "Die Bart, Die"

But as to the real meaning: Der Herr Der Elemente = The Master Of Elements

this is like looking at a scholar, discovering new sacred texts, trying to explain it to a filthy commoner (like me), while the commoner stares blankly at the bewildered scholar trying to elborate

Yeah so Der Herr Der is master/lord of the in German, and as an ugly American, I was making fun of how it sounds funny. Sucks to explain such a simple joke...

Ah I see now, I didn't read the subtitle of the avatar game lol. I thought you were leaving a weird angry comment

It's euro-peen for "ableism + america bad."

OH but even better these games appear to be PAL, meaning decidedly not American. Guessing Germany from the German text. So hurr durr right back to him.
