hard rock and mirror

I'm personally fine with it as long as the combination stays unranked.

sudden death and target practice

Target practice already fails on the first miss, so it already has sudden death at all times, in a sense. There is potentially a case for changing TP to allow misses, but it might go against the mod's original intent which I'm not sure about.

hidden and (spin in, traceable, depth)

HD+TC is pretty much the same thing as blinds; HD+SpinIn is consistent with other approach circle removing mods like grow; HD+depth I don't see any immediate issues with.

relax and magnetized

Using the maximum magnet strength would make this combo basically equivalent to auto, which I'm not sure how to address.

transform and (wiggle, magnetized, repel, freeze frame, depth)

Transform + wiggle/magnetized/repel sound fine, although the map could get pretty wonky with MG/RP because of the extra displacement from TR; freeze frame and depth are probably okay? I feel like implementation detail might be a bit challenging for these combinations.

wiggle and (magnetized, repel, depth)

Wiggle + MG/RP sound fine, if not a bit too RNG dependent; wiggle + depth also sounds OK at first glance. Again, implementation detail might be the issue.

spin in and (grow, deflate, depth)

Spin in is kind of a variant of grow, so it makes sense for it to be incompatible with deflate/depth just like grow, as well as grow itself.

traceable and depth

Depth doesn't affect the approach circles so it wouldn't do anything under traceable.

barrel roll and bubbles

Would the bubbles stay where they are on the screen or rotate with the rest of the playfield? I think the former would be more interesting.

approach different and freezeframe

I agree with this, as long as the approach circle size curve is adjusted to shrink during the additional time it is visible due to FR.

noscope and bloom

No: bloom only affects the cursor, noscope hides the cursor

(magnetized, repel) and bubbles

Being able to manipulate the location of bubbles sounds pretty interesting.

[n0Oo0Oo0b]

Now that I think about it, I think the bigger issue is that noscope can 'cancel' the effect of bloom since the point of bloom is that hitcircles behind your cursor isn't visible. The two mods are incompatible simply because they inherently do opposite things, not because it benefits someone.

[n0Oo0Oo0b]

It can completely negate the effect of bloom, making bloom+noscope vs noscope function the same way, hence it makes sense for them to be incompatible.

And as I said earlier, only disallowing specific mod settings is not possible AFAIK, and I don't expect that to change ever due to confusing UX.
