ah so like every fucking game and it's save files for some reason?

Better, it could be literally anywhere and there's nothing you can do about it. Also symlinks practically look like regular folders and files to most apps.

That's why i prefer to use Wine for games. Just change the symlinks in C:/users/ to somewhere sane, like .local/Games//save. Guess you could also use the variables in .config/user-dirs.dirs while creating the prefix, but i haven't tested that yet.
