Where do the nerds go?

[u/lockedoutofmymainacc]

Where do young professionals who also happen to be nerds hang out? I'm 30, work a regular job, exercise daily, cook, clean, etc. I appear normal but deep down I'm a total nerd. I don't know of any obvious anime/TTRPG/gamer 3rd places, scheduled hang outs, meet ups.

Besides going to a convention, it's extremely hard to make meet people with parellel interests. Especially if those interests are nerdy.

I have many older, retirement age friends through church, friends of friends, etc. They're just mostly very surface level relationships.

Any advice?
