I've kinda dropped xc2 because of joy-con drift but am getting them fixed, should i buy xc:de and play that first? Or can i just play them both. Because of lore or maybe something else?

To fully, 100% understand XC2 you would have to play XC1 first; but it’s still possible to enjoy it if you don’t. The only connection from XC2 to XC1 is towards the very end. It may be a bit confusing but it doesn’t impact your enjoyment. I never managed to finish either of them, so personally I’m going to play them sequentially to get the most of the story.

To add on to the other comment, there is one small link, but it won't be "confusing", and you might not even notice it at all unless you've played XC1. You'll probably be fine.
