The way I'm familiar with it, that usage is short for proc rate, while proc by itself also refers to the event of the activation.
So, most recently, a Genshin player that's too reliant on his favonius lance's on-hit ability might say "I really need my fav to proc every rotation", for instance.
Exactly. If you can imagine those guys that are misinterpreting your work instead misinterpreting A Modest Proposal in just about the same way, then it was maybe unavoidable.
Look, I was there. And I don't know what you might have heard about it, but I'm telling you, Iphigenia went willingly. Nobody tricked her, nobody forced her. Clytemnestra is grieving now, sure, but she'll understand someday.
While it was in hindsight perhaps somewhat of a disproportionate response, the fact remains that Pentheus was clearly in violation of the rules-based order, and in such cases decisive and forceful action is the only way to maintain deterrence.
And anyway, everybody knows how sailors are, girl in every port and all that. I mean, yeah, he *says* he wanted to go home the whole time, but I'm pretty sure his body was saying something else, if you know what I mean.

In other news, I am pleased to report that the investigation has at last successfully located Io. However, due to the stress of recent events, she will not be returning from Egypt for the foreseeable future.
Look, I'm not saying I agree with revenge, here, but you know sometimes when you're pushed far enough, things start getting out of hand and eventually it just takes on a life of its own.
Incidentally, I am marginally more familiar with the form 'haruspex' since that's the one that Sunless Seas went with in a lengthy yet fairly minor sidequest.
Although the way I hear it, the neutrons are just waiting for when they can finally break the Chandrasekhar limit and all those protons and electrons finally settle down and join them, so that way everybody just sits around glowing while they slowly cool off.
He has a gun, of course (and a very large one) but its only unusual characteristic is the ability to fire off a ludicrous number of rounds, almost all of which ricochet harmlessly off the scenery. The rest either send mooks tumbling over railings or else set off huge explosions.
Alternately, from the kind of action movie where the protagonist (who speaks entirely in quips) gets his backstory explained via exposition in the first three minutes. It appears to have taken about half that long to write.
It's true that we mostly just use them for safe gradual dispersal, but that's mostly because dumping it all at once into some sort of directed energy weapon would be terribly inconvenient and also frequently quite messy.
If one might care to repurpose that metaphor, it's worth considering that the point of a heatsink is to control how the accumulated energy is discharged.
Somewhat off-topic, but this is the first time I've seen that directly and it looks like they could have just saved a whole lot of time and effort by copying Misa Amane openly.
