Help request: how to meet adult people who like anime/games (videogames and board games)/nerdy stuff

Hi fellow people from this amazing city,

I'm a 38-year-old Brazilian man, and I'm looking for friends and potentially a partner, and I'm not so good with dating apps + I believe it's hard to find people that have the same likings as described in the title.

If there are any sort of particular events you could recommend that I could go to, or like spots, bars, venues.. or maybe if you like these things and you want to make a new friend, please send me a DM.

A big thanks for everyone's insights in advance ❤️
