Playing Visual Novels on Linux

What steps, if any, do you guys take on the linux distribution of your choice to play visual novels?
I, personally, set the following in my .bashrc
alias vn='env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine start '
so I can just type
vn gameExecutable.exe
and usually just have the game work.For the games I've had for a while, I have .desktop entries in my
$XDG_DATA_HOME/applications
directory with more specific commands as needed.If you guys have any other tricks up your sleeves, please feel free to share them here.
In general it's a good idea to have separate prefix for each game. You can script it, but Lutris will do it for you and you can modify the script, if you need.
