    By that do you mean how to set icons for certain folders irrespective of theme? You need to use the gio command

    gio set folder-name metadata::custom-icon-name icon-name

# In your case it would be something like
gio set Games/ metadata::custom-icon-name folder-games

    Not only does this make it so that no matter what icon theme you use the icon will change according to the theme, but you also do not have to go icon hunting in a bunch of directories.

    Edit: I just saw that you meant using XDG catergories, maybe the gio command can still help? I mean you could theoretically change any metadata field so maybe that helps.
