The bit about the Endless Stair could be a reference to Dwarf Fortress: one of the problems Dwarf Fortress players encounter is how the heck to get their miners back out of whatever moat/chute/spiky-pit/reservoir/pointless-doomsday-device-power-supply-tunnel they've just designed and built. And Randall plays Dwarf Fortress.

Given the time of the comic, could this be a reference to those trapped Chilean miners? IKR - remember them!?
 
 
I'm afraid I broke a link here. I corrected the word "Maiar" (plural) into "Maia" (singular). But that broke the Wikipedia link. It now redirects to Maia, mother of Hermes in Greek mythology -_- Can anyone correct it, please? {{unsigned ip|198.41.242.213|20:12, 22 August 2022‎}}
 
:What you do is to use the wikilink format of <nowiki>{{w|actual page to link|text that you want to be the link itself}}</nowiki>. I could do it for you, but I invite you to try it out yourself.
 
:(Also, Preview is your friend, then jump off of the link the Preview gives you (with your favourite method to "Open in new tab", perhaps, so you don't lose the page you're Previewing/Editing on) and check that it lands where you think it should land and not something like the above, a Disambiguation Page, a "Redirected from..." or otherwise something that you got wrong.)
 
:But welcome to the editing community, or maybe welcome to the ''more advanced'' editing community if you've done this before. (Oh, but look, you also didn't sign your comment. Remember to do that too. Just makes conversatins like this nicer and easier to read.) [[Special:Contributions/162.158.34.61|162.158.34.61]] 23:27, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 
 
Might this be a reference to Dwarf Fortress? Dwarves getting themselves stuck is a common problem in the game and it has been referenced before.
