I am glad the mod ended up becoming real in some form. Grandpa death was meant to be packaged with the /v/ mod but fell through: jacketanon (musician) vanished, and /v/anon (artist and coder) moved on to drawing other stuff. Grandpa Death is made by a completely different person, and is still a very well-made mod.Not to burst your bubble, but I was in the thread when the Dead Baby mod was first joked about and it was never going to be made.
It was simply yet another attempt by the posters there to come off as edgy and as off-putting as possible to keep normies/tourists out of the thread back when all the popular modders at the time would, with different degrees of success, lurk/post in the threads. This is the general that, under the same intention, thought suggesting Daisy's Destruction in any capacity was a "good idea" after all, so it is easy to tell that general suffered of a large percentage of underage posters back then and likely still suffers of it to this day.

Also the “Furnace Whitty” mod, a reimagining of the classic mod using a design made by the /v/anon, got an overhaul around the same time as grandpa death released, finally getting the third song completed:
Especially at the time, the /funkg/ users were at odds with the wider crowd. They treat thinking men aren’t women and saying “nigga” with equivalent punishment to acting perverted to kids, they’re not a good crowd in the slightest. Around the time the /v/ mod was popular, obvious outsiders unaccustomed to how the site works ended up posting funkin-related content to places it did not belongyet another attempt by the posters there to come off as edgy and as off-putting as possible to keep normies/tourists out of the thread back when all the popular modders at the time would
Also modders starting posting there due to /funkg/‘s user base being far more open with giving criticism
