https://www.pcgamer.com/get-tyranny-pillars-of-eternity-and-borderlands-in-the-latest-humble-bundle/
If you've got a few bucks and a lot of free time, the Humble RPG Bundle is a good way to get rid of both. Starting at the $1 tier you get Hiveswap: Act 1, Deep Sky Derelicts, and Immortal Planet. I haven't played Hiveswap but Deep Sky Derelicts and Immortal Planet are both quite cool, if a little weird. But that's not all!

GOG's new Midweek Sale is full of Point & Click games up to 85% off until... well, the sale announcement says September 7th, but the sale page claims that it will last 46 hours, which would mean Friday 6. So yeah, give a look as soon as possible.

Steam has two new daily deals, only one legit, a special week-long sale and three Midweek Madness deals:

• The Early Access title Breathedge is 30% off: https://store.steampowered.com/app/738520/Breathedge/
• The other "daily" deal is, allegedly, One Finger Death Punch 2, And I say that because it features in the weeklong deals and I posted it yesterday when I popsted some of them. What a coincidence, right? Now I wonder if all those fake daily deals are weeklong deals all along...
• The special sale is the anniversary sale from Kalypso Media, with up to 80% discounts until Sept 9th: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/kalypso/
• And these are the Midweek Madness deals:
  • The Mega Man franchise is on sale, up to 60% off: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/mega-man-franchise
